Islamic Article | - She is asking about the ruling on drinking waterover which Soorah Ya-Seen has been recitedin order to treat doubts

I have certain doubts and in need of clarification. I am constantly
feeling loss, lack of clarity and anxiety. I am also experiencing
monthly migraine and I have seek medical blood test result etc to see
if I have any medical problems e.g Thyroid but I am freefrom any
problems alhamdullilah.
I was told that maybe drinking "Yasin Water" may help me from feeling
and experiencing this problem. I am really depressed by this
feelingcloudy in my head and have turned to doa and prayers.
Do you have any advice for me to get away from this feeling?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Before discussing the shar'i ruling, we advise you of that which will
help you to overcome the pain and get through the trial in the best
way that the believer can resort to, along with patience, andtrying to
forget it by focusing on something else, and taking steady and patient
steps towards a remedy and not giving up or getting tired of doing so,
and not feeling frustrated by failure or by the slowness of results.
Allah,may He be glorified and exalted, is wise in all that He does.
Everyone in this world should prepare himself to face calamities and
beexposed to all kinds of tests. This is the way of this transient
world which is full of trials and tribulations. Allah, may He be
glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss
of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As- Saabiroon
(the patient).
156. Who, when afflictedwith calamity, say: 'Truly,to Allaah we belong
and truly, to Him we shall return.'
157. They are those on whom are the Salawaat (i.e. who are blessed
andwill be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive
His Mercy, and it is they whoare the guided ones"
[al-Baqarah 2:155-157].
The believer always remembers the mercy of Allah, may He be glorified
and exalted, and he does not despair of attaining the generosity of
his Lord with healing and response to his supplication, even if it is
after a while. He looks atthe tragedies of people around him,
including the poor who cannot find a mouthful of food, the sick person
who is inagonising pain at every moment, those who have been driven
from their homes, prisoners who are being tortured, those who are
tested with their wives and children, those who are afraid in their
own homelands, and the longlist of various kinds of trials and
tribulations. The one who ponders allthat will realise that he cannot
escape the necessity of patience. So let it be the patience of
contentment, which is better than the patience of compulsion; this is
thepatience for which Allah decrees reward. Athough the Messengers and
Prophets - who were the dearest and most beloved of mankind to Allah,
may He be glorified and exalted - were faced with calamities and
trialsthat went on for a long time, that did not lead them to give up
and despair of the mercy of Allah. Nooh (peace be upon him) remained
among his people for a thousand years less fifty (i.e., 950 years)
during which they accused him and resisted him. Ya'qoob and Yoosuf
(peace be upon him) were tested with a lengthy separation until
Ya'qoob (peace be upon him) became blind. Moosa (peace be upon him)
was thrown out of his country and fled from it in fear. Zakariya and
Yahya (peace be upon them) were killed by the Children of Israel. The
people of 'Eesa (peace be upon him) wanted to crucify him and Allah
raised him to Himself. Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) was expelled by his people from his land; they reviled him and
insulted him and wanted to kill him. And the list is longer than that.
If you want to know more about that, look in the Book of Allah and
ponder the meanings of the verses that you read,and you will find the
best consolation in that.
So let us - weak slaves - not be hasty in seeking relief from harm;
let us do our duty of bearing itwith patience and contentment, and let
us put our trust in Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, for He is
the Most Wise Who disposes of all the affairs of this world as He
wills.
This does not mean that one cannot seek help by means of Islamically
acceptable ruqyah in which Allah may decree there is healing. Allah,
may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And We senddown of the Qur'ân that which is a healing and a mercy to
those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism and act on it), and it
increases the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers) nothing but loss"
[al-Isra' 17:82].
Al-'Allaamah Muhammad al-Ameen al-Shanqeeti (may Allah have mercy on him) says:
The fact that it is a healing includes the heart and all its diseases
(i.e., spiritual diseases), such as doubt, hypocrisy and so on, as
well as healing for physical diseases if it is used in ruqya, as is
indicated by the story of the one whodid ruqya for the man who had
been stung by a scorpion by reciting al-Faatihah. The report issaheeh
and is well known.
End quote from Adwa' al-Bayaan, 3/253.
But singling out specific verses or a specific soorah such as Soorat
Ya-Seen, for specific diseases and specifying a particular number of
times it should be recited or certain times for reciting these verses
or soorahs - none of thisis the Sunnah of the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him) and there is no shar'i evidence to support
it. Rather we areafraid that the one who does that will fall into
innovation (bid'ah). This has been discussed previously on our website
in the answer toquestion no. 123155
With regard to drinking water over which SooratYa-Seen has been
recitedseveral times when he does not believe that it has any
particular virtue,there is nothing wrong with that, although it would
have been better to perform ruqyah with that which is proven according
to shar'i evidence, such as reciting over the water Soorat
al-Faatihah, al-Mi'wadhatayn, Aayat al-Kursiy and other passages that
have been discussed on our website under the heading of Ruqya, such as
question no. 3476 .
There have also been a number of answers on our website which suggest
some means of dealing with doubts andwaswaas (whispers fromthe
Shaytaan) that may cross one's mind and be difficult to dispel.
