The ruling on writing something from the Qur'an, wiping it, and drinking it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there evidence that permits a person to write something from the Qur'an, wipe it, and drink it?
Answer:
This was the practice of the Salaf. They call it ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) in a basin or on a piece of paper with saffron, and it is washed. Some of the Salaf did this. Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned that many of the righteous Salaf found it beneficial, by the permission of Allah. One writes verses with saffron or supplications, then washes them and drinks the water.
Q: So, one who does this is not to be rebuked?
A: There is no blame on him; because it is not hanging it up, it is drinking it.
