How is the Shari'ah-compliant ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) performed?

Question:
You ask how the Shari'ah-compliant ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is performed?

Answer:
The Shari'ah-compliant ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is done with the Noble Qur'an, specifically Surat al-Fatihah, Surat al-Ikhlas, and the two Mu'awwidhat (protective chapters), along with whatever is easy to recite from the Qur'an. It also includes the Shari'ah-compliant supplications: we call upon Allah for healing, we call upon Allah for mercy, we call upon Allah for relief, and so on. Thus, the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is performed with the Qur'an and with Shari'ah-compliant supplications. It must be performed by one who is skilled in ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), from among those with sound 'aqidah (creed) and those with knowledge who distinguish Shari'ah-compliant ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) from shirk-based (associating partners with Allah) ruqyah.
There are sorcerers among the people who perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). They come with deception. They may recite some of the Qur'an for the sake of deception, and then mix with it some shirk (associating partners with Allah). They also use magical symbols and shirk-based (associating partners with Allah) amulets. Therefore, no one should perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) except a Muslim who practices tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and knows Shari'ah-compliant ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). He must also know shirk-based (associating partners with Allah) ruqyah so that he can avoid it.
