569. Rain Water Is A Blessing

By Asma Bint Shameem 

Rain water may be used when reading ruqyah over a person who’s sick or affected with magic or evil eye. 

Rain is a blessing and a mercy from Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala. 

And so rainwater is blessed. 

The Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam used to LOVE to wet himself with rain water. 

Anas radhi Allaahu anhu said

‘We were with Allaah’s Messenger Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam when rain fell upon us. 

Allaah’s Messenger Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam 

opened up his garment a bit so that the rain could touch his skin. 

We asked: “O Messenger of Allaah, why do you do this?” 

He Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam replied: 

*“Because it has just recently come from its Lord’.”* (Muslim)

And he Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:

“We are given rain by Allaah’s mercy, Allaah’s providence, and Allaah’s grace.” 

(al-Bukhaari)

So rainwater may be used for ruqyah purposes. 

And Allaah knows best
