Writing the verse with rose water and drinking it, or reciting over water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s view on seeking healing with the Qur’an: Is it better to write the verse with rose water and then drink it, or to recite the verse over water and drink it?
Answer:
The better option is to recite directly over the patient; that is the best. This is permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) recited and gave the patient to drink, as in Sunan Abu Dawud and others. As for writing the Qur’an on paper or sheets, I do not recall any evidence for it, but some of the Salaf, such as Imam Ahmad and others, permitted it, because it falls under seeking healing with the Qur’an and under ruqyah (healing by Qur’anic recitation). However, there is no clear evidence from the Book or the Sunnah for it, unlike the first two methods: reciting directly over the patient, or reciting over water and giving it to the patient to drink.
