Can chronic obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) regarding Wudu and prayer be treated by drinking water over which Quranic verses have been recited, daily on an empty stomach?
The optimal treatment for obsessive thoughts is to ignore and resist them, while also consulting with doctors. Seeking healing through the Quran is among the most effective means to achieve what is desired. One can read the Quran over water and drink it with the intention of healing. Whenever a servant is sincere in seeking healing from Allah through His verses, it is hoped that Allah will encompass them with His mercy. Allah Almighty says: "And We send down from the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe."
