Is it permissible to pour water over the entire body—water upon which verses from the Holy Quran have been recited—with the intention of ruqyah (exorcism/healing)?

It is permissible to pour water over a patient's body on which the Quran has been recited for treatment, due to the generality of Allah's saying: (And We send down from the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers), and His saying: (Say, It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing). Some of the Salaf permitted writing down verses from the Quran and then drinking them, as stated by Mujahid and Abu Qilabah.
