The questioner : He says in his question: What is the opinion of the religion regarding writing verses from the Qur'an on a wooden board, erasing these verses, and presenting them to the patient? And did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) do this or not?
The Shaykh : We do not know of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) doing such a thing, but some of the Salaf used to do it. So if a person does it, there is no blame on him. However, the better and more appropriate thing is for him to recite for the patient himself the verses and hadiths for which the Sunnah has come.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : For example, reciting al-Fatihah for the patient, for it is among the most effective medicines. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2064Sahih (Darussalam) And likewise, reciting for the patient with [Al-Ikhlas 112:1] and [Al-Falaq 113:1] and [An-Nas 114:1], and likewise what the hadiths have come with, such as Riyad as-Salihin 902 and such as Sunan Abi Dawud 3892Da'if (Al-Albani) and such as Sahih Muslim 2186 and other things that the Sunnah has come with. If a person recites these for the patient, it is more appropriate than writing verses from the Qur'an to be put in water and the patient seeking healing with it.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.

How did you know it was Ruqyah?
وما يدريك أنها رقيةSay, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌSay, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِSay, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ"Allahumma Rabban-nasi, adhhibil-ba'sa, washfi, Antash-Shafi, la shifa'a illa shifa'uka, shifaan la yughadiru saqaman [O Allah! the Rubb of mankind! Remove this disease and cure (him or her)! You are the Great Curer. There is no cure but through You, which leaves behind no disease]
اللهم رب الناس! أذهب البأس، واشف أنت الشافي، لا شفاء إلا شفاؤك، شفاء لا يغادر سقماًOur Lord is Allah Who is in the heaven, holy is Thy name, Thy command reigns supreme in the heaven and the earth, as Thy mercy in the heaven, make Thy mercy in the earth; forgive us our sins, and our errors; Thou art the Lord of good men; send down mercy from Thy mercy, and remedy, and remedy from Thy remedy on this pain so that it is healed up.
ربنا الله الذي في السماء، تقدس اسمك، أمرك في السماء والأرض، كما رحمتك في السماء فاجعل رحمتك في الأرض، أنت رب الطيبين، اغفر لنا حوبنا وخطايانا، أنزل رحمة من رحمتك، وشفاء من شفائك على هذا الوجع، فيبرأIn the name of Allah I exorcise you from everything and safeguard you from every evil that may harm you and from the eye of a jealous one. Allah would cure you
بسم الله أرقيك، من كل داء يؤذيك، ومن شر كل نفس أو عين حاسد، الله يشفيكThe questioner : Yes.
