The superstitions you mentioned are not permissible to rely upon or to seek healing through; they are neither from empirical medicine nor from the Qur'an and . There is no difference between a red and a black container. The condition of intention is conceivable in spiritual medicine through , but not in this context. Placing the Qur'an as a cover for this container is a desecration of it. This action is an innovation (bid'ah), and therefore, it must be avoided.
