Drinking water in which papers have been washed

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]
