Question:
He says: The one who goes to the ruqyah practitioner while believing that this practitioner is merely a means, and that Allah is the Healer.
Answer:
He is a means, but leaving him in order to rely on Allah and dispense with your need for people is better. Yes. And he is a means, without a doubt. We did not say that it is forbidden for you to perform ruqyah, or to ask someone to perform ruqyah for you or for another person. It is not forbidden; it is permissible, but it is disliked, and leaving it is better. Yes.
