Placing verses from the Qur'an under the pillow

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on placing verses from the Qur'an under the pillow for one who sleeps little?

Answer:
No, that is not permissible. One does not use the Qur'an as a pillow; that is not permissible. However, he should recite for himself the Ayat al-Kursi, the two Mu'awwidhat, al-Ikhlas, and al-Fatihah, because it is a ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). Yes.
