Question

What should one read for someone who has a mental illness?

Answer

One should recite Surah Fateha seven times and blow on the patient. After each recitation of Surah Fateha, make the sound of spitting the gathered saliva (in one’s mouth) on the patient. This action should be carried out in the morning and evening, for a period of three days. [Mustanad Ilaaj-e-Quraani Pg.215]
