What is the ruling on writing Qur'anic verses on a board and then washing it and having the patient drink the water?

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. A questioner asks: What is the ruling on writing Qur'anic verses on a board and then washing the vessel with water and having the patient drink it? Please advise us, and may Allah reward you.

The Shaykh : This is for the sick person. One writes for the sick person on a board with saffron or something similar, washes it, and the sick person drinks it. This was done by some of the Salaf, and they cited as evidence the general statement of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: So, any method that utilizes the Qur'an for healing, provided it is not forbidden, is permissible. However, it is better than this to recite directly to the sick person; reciting to the sick person is the best. It is not hidden from some of you the story of the delegation but these people were deprived of the good they did not offer them hospitality The Fatihah. He recited it for him. Recite the Fatihah. I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.

The questioner : I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ 2 الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ 3 مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ 4 إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ 5 اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ 6 صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path. The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have earned Your anger, nor of those who are astray.

The Shaykh : Well done. And all of you know the Fatihah. The meaning of "released from a bond" is like a beast that, when its bond is untied, runs off. This is one of the signs of Allah. That is, what made you know that it is a ruqyah? That is, it is used as a ruqyah for the sick, and they are healed by the permission of Allah. This question is for clarification. And regarding the sheep, he said: May Allah send prayers and peace upon him. Why did he say: "Make a share for me from it"? Was it because of his need, or to reassure them that there is no harm in it? It was to reassure them that there is no harm in it. Therefore, a scholar should, when he issues a ruling that is unusual and he fears that the hearts of the questioners will not be at ease with it, do so until their hearts are at ease.
And how beautiful is the story, and how beautiful is the story about Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah was given by Allah, the Exalted, knowledge of the transmitted and knowledge of the reasoned. That is, Allah, the Exalted, gave him knowledge of the athar and knowledge of reason. He had such rational and textual evidence that he could silence his opponent. Indeed, (may Allah have mercy on him) would use the texts his opponent cited to argue against his opponent. When the Tatars descended upon Sham, and the fitnah of the Tatars is well known, a great fitnah, but Allah, the Exalted, sets some people against others. They entered Damascus in Ramadan, and he (may Allah have mercy on him) issued a ruling to the soldiers that they should break their fast so that they could strengthen themselves for what? For jihad and fighting. A fasting person cannot strengthen himself for this. Others from the scholars were consulted, and they said: You have no dispensation to break your fast. Breaking the fast is only for illness or travel, and you have neither illness nor travel, so you have no dispensation. As for him (may Allah have mercy on him), he insisted that they had a dispensation and cited as evidence the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the expedition of the Conquest, which was in Ramadan. When he approached Makkah, he said to his companions: He encouraged them to break their fast because it would be stronger for them. This indicates that if a person breaks his fast for fighting in the cause of Allah, there is no blame on him. And yet, (may Allah have mercy on him) would walk in the ranks of the Muslims with a piece of bread, eating it in Ramadan. For what? For what, people? To reassure them that he did not issue a ruling except out of conviction. And a person's conviction in action is stronger than his conviction in words, correct? Do you agree with this? Good. There is evidence for this. When the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah occurred between the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and Quraysh, but do you know that the conditions in the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah were heavy and great for the believers? Why? Because they were convinced. And a person's conviction in action is stronger than his conviction in words. Yes.
