Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some ruqah practitioners ask the patient to bring rainwater so they can recite over it, claiming that this is blessed water. Is there a basis for this in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
No, it has no basis in the Shari'ah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go out at the beginning of the rain and uncover his head until the rain touched him, saying This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do at the beginning of the rain. Yes.
