What is the ruling on taking a fee for Ruqyah?

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who opens a clinic for Ruqyah of people with the Shari'ah Ruqyah, and does so by taking a sum of money?

Answer:
The Shari'ah Ruqyah is permissible without doubt. The Shari'ah Ruqyah is permissible for one who is skilled in it and has a sound and good creed. It is permissible, and it is a type of treatment; indeed, it is the most beneficial treatment. However, it is not befitting for a Muslim to make it a profession, to open a shop and set prices for people like a doctor who treats with medicine. This is something the Salaf did not do. The Salaf did not do this. Rather, if your Muslim brother needs it, or if you need it, you perform Ruqyah on yourself or on your Muslim brother. If he gives you something, there is no harm in you taking it. But if you make it a condition and set prices, this is not permissible. This is not permissible. Yes.
