What are the conditions that must be met by the Ruqi?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Ruqah practitioners have become widespread recently. Does the Ruqi need to have certain qualities in order to qualify for performing Ruqah?

Answer:
The Ruqi must have sound 'aqidah (creed) and be from the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). He must also have knowledge, knowing the etiquettes of Ruqah and how to perform it. He must consider that Ruqah is a cause among the causes, not the healer itself. Rather, it is a cause; if Allah wills, He places healing in it, and if He wills, there is no healing in it. The matter is referred back to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). But the foremost condition is that he have sound 'aqidah; he must not be a Dajjal (false messiah), a fortune-teller, or a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) who only wants to take money, perform talismans, and practice sorcery. He is warned against this. Yes.
