The ruling on sprinkling water on which a verse is written in a place

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a person who writes a verse on a plate, then puts water in it and sprinkles it in his place every evening, on the grounds that it prevents the evil eye and the like?

Answer:
There is no basis for this action. This action is a bid'ah (religious innovation). What some scholars have permitted is writing some verses or supplications on a plate or in a clean place, then washing it with water and drinking the wash, and removing the writing, as a means of seeking healing from illness. This is what some scholars have permitted and considered to fall under the category of the Shari'ah ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and seeking healing with the Noble Qur'an. As for sprinkling it in the house, there is no basis for it, and it is a bid'ah. Yes.
