According to the chart in the manual, you have to have an 18 IQ to cast 9th level spells - let us not forget that you also have to be 18th level, which is above BG2's experience cap!
Writing the spells to your spell book, OTOH, is another matter - any mage can do it (although you may have to perform some cheese tactics or take some potions to do so). In general, unless you have ToB installed, or a mage with Nahal's Reckless Dweomer spell (it IS possible to start out with it without cheating), you are better off not writing any 9th level scrolls you find - just use them when you need them.
