Dryness in the Intestines

 Question:
My father has been bedridden for a long time. He is becoming weaker day by day. He has no appetite and suffers from severe constipation. The unanimous opinion of physicians and doctors is that there is dryness in my father’s intestines, but so far no medicine has shown any benefit. I request you to guide us, because my mother has passed away and he is the only support I have. I would also like to mention here that I am the only daughter of my parents.

Answer:
After the Isha prayer, recite the verses of Surah Al-Lahab, from Tabbat yadā to wa imra’atuhu, 101 times over a clay pot filled with water and blow upon it. Let your father drink only this water. Apart from this, he should not drink any other water at all.

After 24 hours have passed, if some water remains, pour it at the base of a plant bed or a tree, and prepare fresh water for the next 24 hours. The duration of this treatment is 21 days. During this period, no other water should be consumed.
