Sidr for hair and body:
Add 1 tablespoon of powdered sidr to
approximately 1 cup of warm water. Mix it vigorously with your fingers to
make it frothy and like soap suds. Wash your hair with it, leave on for a few
minutes while washing the rest of your body, then rinse out completely.
A day after hair has been washed with sidr
it will be shiny and full of volume inshaa Allaah!
Sidr for washing the dead:
Add one cup of sidr powder to a bucket of
water. Make it frothy with your fingers before using.
Sidr for accepting Islaam:
“It is Mashru` (Islamically prescribed) for
anyone who wants to embrace Islam to first say Shahadah then perform Ghusl.
This is according to many Hadiths. It was narrated by Qays ibn `Asim that when
he wanted to embrace Islam, the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered him to
perform Ghusl using water and Sidr (lote tree/ lotus jujube).
(Related by the Five Compilers of Hadith [Imams Ahmad, Abu Dawud,
Al-Tirmidhy, Al-Nasa'y, and Ibn Majah] except for Ibn Majah)” (Shaykh
Bin Baz vol. 11 p37)
Sidr for removing envy or magic:
“...It is also recommendable to add seven
leaves of Sidr to the water, as some Salaf (righteous predecessors) used to
do, and recite Ayat-ul-Kursy, Al-Iklas and Al-Mu`awwidhatayn and some Ayahs
(verses from the Qur'an) on removing the magic effect, from Surah Al-A`raf,
Surah Yunus and Surah Ta-Ha, on the water by yourself or by aid of anyone
else and this will be helpful, in sha'a Allah.” (Shaykh Bin Baz part 28 p346)
“...One method of treating sorcery after its
occurrence - it is also an effective remedy for a man who cannot have sexual
intercourse with his wife because of sorcery - is the following: Take seven
leaves of the green Sidr (lote tree) and pound them with something like a stone; then
put them in a vessel and pour into it an amount of water enough for washing.
After that, recite the following Surahs and Ayahs over the water:
Ayat-ul-Kursy, Surahs Al-Kafirun, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and Al-Nas, and the
Ayahs in Surah Al-A`raf that speak of sorcery. Then drink three times from
that water and wash yourself with the rest. Thus, the illness will be cured,
if Allah so wills. This method may be employed two times or more until the
illness is cured...” (Fataawa of Shaykh bin Baz vol. 3 pp274-282)
