Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I mean, Shaykh, does the water in which recitation is performed have its ruling?

The Shaykh : The water in which recitation is performed. It appears that it is beneficial by the permission of Allah, because it is authentic from the Salaf (the earliest generations), and Abu Dawud narrated a hadith about it from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So if a person does this, there is nothing wrong with it, but on the condition that he knows, or it is most likely in his opinion, that there is no illness in it. If there is illness in it, this sick person’s saliva or spittle might increase his illness.

The questioner : O Shaykh? What is meant by "the place" where the water is revealed, meaning if...

The Shaykh : The meaning of "the place" is the receptive one, meaning that the one upon whom it is recited, or the one who drinks this water, is certain or hopeful and expects that it will benefit him. This is the meaning of a receptive place.
