The permissibility of reciting over water and selling it to people?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some reciters use a large water tank in which they recite for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, and then some workers fill bottles with it and sell them to people. Is this permissible?
Answer:
We know that there is a basis for this. Also, the recitations are intended for a specific patient. One recites in a container, intending a specific patient, in water that he drinks, or in milk that he drinks, or something similar. As for reciting in a tank or a barrel to be distributed to people, no. If a group of people ask him for water that he has recited over for all of them, and he then distributes it among them, there is no harm. If they ask him for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), and he recites over a container for all of them and then distributes it among them, intending them, intending those who came to him. Yes.
