How to recite over water for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), and whether it is prescribed without need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We return to the questions of the brothers and sisters. This questioner says: What is the method for reciting the Qur'an over water, and then drinking it or using it to wash the body? And is this water used permanently, daily, in the absence of illness?

Answer:
Yes, he spits, he recites, you recite Surat al-Fatihah, and you recite Surat al-Ikhlas, and the two Mu'awwidhat (chapters of protection), and whatever verses are easy for you that contain supplication for healing. He spits during the recitation, spitting into the water, and then the patient drinks it and bathes with it; there is nothing wrong with that. As for the non-patient, the people of health who have no illness, it is not prescribed for them to do that. This is only in case of need; this is ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) in case of need. Yes.
