Now only the people who have come for Hajj and Umrah can carry one 10 liters (1 gallon) Zam Zam water free of charge per ticket. Others (like who are on Iqama) can carry Zam Zam water free of charge if it is inside their allocated weight limit and if it is not exceeding the number of pieces allowed to be carried.
