The Ruling of Reciting the Qur'aan into Water


Answered by Ash-Shaikh Rabee' bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee خفظه الله

Question: What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'aan into water?


Answer : It is not appropriate, even though some of the scholars have said it (that it is ok). There is no proof for it. The Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) did not do this and neither did the Companions. May Allaah bless you all. And those (scholars) who permit writing (i.e. writing verses of the Qur'aan and using them for cure and so forth), and some things, and bathing and washing (with water that have verses of Qur'an blown or recited in it) and the likes of these things, they do not have any proofs for such things. And they (the same scholars who permitted this) are the ones who taught us that we should not accept any matter except with the daleel (proof). So every person may have his statement accepted or rejected except the Messenger of Allaah ('alayhis-salaatu was-salaam).
