Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible, according to some scholars, to write the Qur'an with saffron or pure ink, then for the afflicted person to bathe with it and drink from it. A group of the Salaf did this, and it was affirmed by Al- Al-Basri, Mujahid, Abu Qilabah, and Al-Awza'i. Al-Nawawi mentioned that the implication of the Shafi'i is that it is not forbidden. It is preferable to limit it to drinking and to avoid bathing, for fear of exposing the Qur'anic water to disrespect. It is not obligatory to do this, nor are specific days for it to be determined, except with a legal proof.
