Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the ruling on writing Qur'anic verses on a piece of paper with saffron, then soaking this paper in water, and drinking this water for healing?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Imam Ahmad and others permitted it; because it is a form of ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). This falls under ruqyah. One writes on plates or on paper with pure ink, saffron or otherwise, then washes it and drinks the wash water. This is ruqyah with the Book of Allah the Exalted.
