The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an for the imam if he is reciting to the congregation with the intention of Shariah-compliant ruqyah?
The Shaykh:
What is its ruling?
The questioner:
Reciting the Qur'an for the imam if he is reciting to the congregation with the intention of Shariah-compliant ruqyah?
The Shaykh:
I did not understand the question. Does he recite to the congregation, meaning in the prayer or outside the prayer? By Allah, it is more apparent in the prayer, O Shaykh. Meaning he makes the recitation of the prayer a ruqyah. This is what weakens it. No one has said this or done it. Yes. He says: Honorable Shaykh. Meaning he performs ruqyah on the congregation behind him. Glory be to Allah, yes.
