One may pray and blow into water as a form of remedy. In the authentic narration of Muṣannaf ibn Abi Shaybah, ‘A’ishah (RA) permitted that water can be prayed on and then given to the sick to drink or to be poured over them.Salih (rahimahullah), the son of Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah), said: “Whenever I became ill, my father would take a cup of water and recite over it, then tell me to drink some of it and wash my hands and face in it.” (Manaqib al-Imam Ahmad)
