The Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection (DNCRP) has suspended the sale of holy water of Makkah's Zamzam Well in the capital's Baitul Mukarram market, reports BSS.
DNCRP Director General AHM Shafiquzzaman said this during a view exchange meeting at its head office in the capital on Monday.
At the same time, he said a special drive is underway to find out whether the holy water is being sold elsewhere in the country or not.
Shafiquzzaman said the Islamic Foundation has been requested to verify whether it is even legal to sell this water.
The temporary ban also encompasses any scope of online sales as well, he added.
The DNCRP Director General said, "It's a sensitive matter. After knowing about the issue, we've decided to hold an urgent meeting. Then we decided to ban the sale of Zamzam water in Baitul Mukarram market temporarily, because we never heard of Zamzam water being sold in Saudi Arabia."
