Conditions for the Permissibility of Treatment by Lawful Ruqyah

Question:
May Allah reward you. In her question she says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on treatment with the Noble Qur'an, especially since it has become common in our time to go to those who recite? May Allah reward you with good?

Answer:
Treatment by ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with the Noble Qur'an is prescribed, on the condition that it is carried out by a ruqyah practitioner who is knowledgeable about ruqyah, has a sound creed, and is free from defects in his creed. If one finds a practitioner with these qualities—knowledgeable in the matters of ruqyah and sound in his creed—then it is permissible to seek treatment from him. As for one who does not recite well, or whose creed is not sound, it is not permissible to go to him, for fear that he may engage in some of the practices of shirk (associating partners with Allah) or sorcery. Yes.
