The ruling on collective recitation for the sick and recitation over water in tanks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on some reciters who recite over the sick in the blind, or over them while they are gathered in a hall, or recite over water in the tank, and so on? Is this considered forbidden?
Answer:
Yes. This is not correct. It is not the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did and that the scholars did. It is not the ruqyah where people are gathered in prayer and a large group is over them. Who said this? Is this from the practice of the Salaf? Or do you recite over water? Or in an underground tank or a tank or otherwise? This is an exaggeration. Allah has not sent down any authority for it. And following this is oppression.
