Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 911? What? Does the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 911 indicate that it is preferable not to seek medical treatment, since ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is a type of treatment?
Answer:
Seeking treatment is permissible; it is not obligatory, nor is it recommended, but it is among the permissible things. So if one leaves it off, he has left off a permissible thing. No, a permissible thing is not censured. The one who leaves it off does not sin, and the one who does it is not rewarded. Both sides are equal. Yes.
