Recitation in water and oil, and selling it

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is there any evidence indicating the permissibility of reciting in water, or olive oil, and the like? Because some have said there is no evidence for that, so is this correct?

Answer:
The evidence for it is that it is poured with water and the patient drinks it; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did this. The hadith is in Sunan Abu Dawud.
There is a hadith in Sunan Abu Dawud that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited in water and drank the water. There is no harm in that. However, there is an exaggeration in this matter, which is that they recite in waters and sell them to people, selling them in the markets like goods. This is not permissible. This is an exaggeration. As for reciting for a patient who is present and giving it to him to drink, that is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. As for selling and trading in the markets, that is an exaggeration in this, and there is no evidence for it.
