Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a disbeliever is afflicted with the evil eye or is ill, is it permissible for a Muslim to perform ruqyah on him using the Qur'an? And does he benefit from this ruqyah, even if he is a disbeliever?
Answer:
The Companions performed ruqyah on a disbeliever who had a scorpion sting; they recited over him a flock of sheep, and they mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He permitted it and said, "The most deserving thing for which you take a fee is the Book of Allah." Yes.
