Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We have a sick person, and a man came to recite the Qur'an over him. Then he brought a board on which three verses from the Qur'an were written in saffron, each verse repeated twenty-two times. He said, "Pour water over it, then let him drink from this water and take a bath with it." Is this a prescribed practice?

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is permissible to write the Qur'an on a plate, a board, something, or a piece of paper, and wash it and drink the wash water. This is permissible and there is nothing wrong with it.

The presenter:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success in your prayers.

The Shaykh:
The condition is that there be nothing hidden in the writing; it must be clear and readable. Yes.
