Sprinkling Quraan Sharif Water Over The Private Parts

· 12 Safar 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it permissible to use oils or water that Quraan has been recited over on one’s private part? Raaqis approve of sprinkling water (on which Quraan was recited) over the toilet lid. Is this acceptable?

Answer

When verses of the Quraan Sharif or any Dua is recited over water, then such water cannot be used for Istinja or applied between the navel and the knee as the water is now blessed. Similarly, the water cannot be sprinkled over the toilet seat, in fact, it cannot even be taken into an area of impurity. [Re: Fataawa Darul Uloom Zakariyya Vol:8 Pg:73]
