If one of the children falls, what is the ruling on sprinkling water at the place where he fell?

The questioner : Well, Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), a woman asks: It is my father's custom that if one of the brothers or my siblings falls ill, he goes to the place where one of the siblings fell and sprinkles it with water. Is there a basis for this?

The Shaykh : There is no basis for this.

The questioner : And is the saying correct?

The Shaykh : Sprinkling the place has no significance.

The questioner : But is...

The Shaykh : This action is not permissible. Because it has no basis of validity, neither in the Shari'ah nor in what is perceived by the senses. The father should repent for what he did and not return to it.

The questioner : Well, is there any...

The Shaykh : Connection between sprinkling the place where the patient fell and the patient's body.

The presenter : Let him raise his voice.

The Shaykh : What connection is there between this and that such that it is said that it benefits? But these are illusions among some people, and an illusion may appear to the patient as reality. But it has no basis.

The questioner : The questioner asks: Shaykh, is this a means of drawing near to the Shayatin (Satan)?

The Shaykh : Allah knows best, but it is wrong and not permissible.
