Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: In our country, some people who claim to follow the methodology of the Salaf engage in Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). They have established a special center for this Ruqyah. In our country, some people who claim to follow the methodology of the Salaf engage in Ruqyah and have established a special center for it. They charge fees and discourage people from treatment with modern medicine, saying, "These are the medicines of disbelievers, and one does not treat with them." He asks: What is the statement regarding this matter?
Answer:
This is a false statement. Yes, one may treat with the Qur'an and with Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation); there is no harm in that. But this does not prevent treatment with medicine as well. Allah did not send down a disease without sending down a cure for it; those who know know it, and those who do not know do not know it. Yes.
