Ruling on writing verses for a sick person and hanging them on him

Question:
Noble Shaykh Abdul Aziz, we have a set of questions from our esteemed listeners, and perhaps in this session we can present the message from listener Abdullah ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Abdul Malik from Sudan.
He says in his message: I request clarification of this issue: A sick person has a righteous man write the Qur'an for him to treat him of any illness. Is it possible for the opposite to happen if he uses the verses of the Qur'an—may Allah forgive me—in inverted surahs, or if he says that if he uses the verses of the Qur'an inverted, and I mean by that what the common people say: So-and-so loves so-and-so, if the treatment is inverted, is it possible for that to happen?
I request an explanation of that and a mention of how to protect oneself from such nonsense, then an explanation of the reasons for this. This is another question, but we stop at his saying: "these surahs."

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and whoever follows his guidance. As for what follows:
Writing verses to treat a sick person is not prescribed. Do not hang them on him, and do not write them on his body. All of this is not prescribed. What is prescribed is to recite over him, to blow over him, and to pray for him for healing and well-being. Recite over him some verses on a part of his body, on his cheek, on his hand, on his head, and pray for him. This is permissible. Ruqyah is prescribed. The fact that he performs ruqyah on the sick person, prays for him, and recites the Qur'an over him until Allah heals him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ruqyah and was himself subjected to ruqyah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: .
So, the lawful ruqyah, where he prays for the sick person, recites verses from the Qur'an over him, and prays for his healing, all of this is prescribed, and all of it is a Sunnah. As for writing verses for him to be hung around his neck, or on his arm, this is not from the Shari'ah. Or writing hadiths for him, or other words, supplications, or nails, or talismans, or cut-off letters, or the like of that. All of this is not permissible. Even the Qur'an is not to be hung. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
So, the barriers, amulets, and collections that some people do, hanging them on the sick on their necks, or hanging them on their arms, or elsewhere, this is not permissible. But ruqyah is permissible. The fact that he performs ruqyah on the sick person, prays for him, and recites verses over him, this is good, and this is called ruqyah, and there is no harm in it. Or he performs ruqyah in water and the person drinks the water. Some of this also came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as in the Sunan of Abu Dawud from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "That he recited in water for Thabit ibn Qays." This is permissible. But as for hanging, nothing is to be hung, neither the Qur'an nor anything else. It is not to be hung on the neck, nor on the hand. All of this is not a treatment, and it is not prescribed. Rather, it is prohibited. And Allah is the One to be sought for help. There is no power and no strength except with Allah.
