The ruling on writing verses on paper and then washing them in water and drinking it, and the ruling on reciting over water with blowing

The questioner:
This sister says that we use the *'azimah* in *ruqyah*, which is written with saffron, then placed in water and we drink it. Also, what is the ruling on reciting over water and blowing into it for *ruqyah*?

The Shaykh:

The questioner:

He recites verses and blows into the water, and the sick person drinks it. This is also mentioned in the hadith. Yes.
