The Permissibility of Treating Illness with Water Over Which the Qur'an Has Been Recited
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Has it been reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that water over which the Qur'an has been recited heals and contains a cure? And is drinking it not an innovation? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is established in Sunan Abu Dawud—may Allah have mercy on him—from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he recited over water for Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammās and poured it over him. So reciting over water is a form of treatment… one of the types of treatment, and reciting over the sick person is one of the types of treatment. All of this came through the Sunnah, and it is among the causes of healing and well-being. Likewise, writing noble verses on paper or on a clean plate with saffron, then washing it and drinking it, is also a form of treatment. Many of the Salaf—may Allah have mercy on them—did this, provided the reciter and the writer are known for goodness and uprightness. All of this is treatment, and it falls under the category of medicine and healing. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
