Summary
Accepting water and pencils over which prayers or incantations have been recited is permissible. This is conditional on the recipient not believing that the objects themselves bring about the effect. The same ruling applies to the pencil.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Harus untuk menerima air penawar selama mana tidak mengiktiqadkan bahawa benda tersebut memberi bekas begitu juga halnya dengan pensil yang dijampi
