Aslam

Praise be to Allah.Reciting over saffron water, then dipping

pieces of paper in it and selling them to people for them to seek a

cure from them – this is an action which is not permitted and it must

be prevented, because it is a kind of cheating and consuming people’s

wealth unlawfully. It is not the kind of shar’i ruqyah which some scholars

said is permitted, which is to write aayahs clearly on a piece of paper

using something pure, then to wash that writing off and drink the water.

[Translator’s note: ruqyah i.e., reciting

Qur’aan and du’aa’s over the sick for the purpose of seeking healing]
