The ruling on claiming to treat falls with ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman fell in her kitchen and hit her head on the tile. After this fall, she became ill and consulted doctors for a period of time, but she did not recover from her illness. They advised her to go to a practitioner of ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). She went to one of them, and he told her to take the tile she fell on with a cloth and wash over it every day. She did not do this until she asked one of the scholars. What is your guidance?

Answer:
This is a liar. This is a liar, a fortune-teller. What does the tile and washing it with a cloth have to do with it? This woman was injured in the head as a result of a fall. Her treatment is with the doctors; they examine her and see the defect in her head, or she was afflicted with possession by jinn, in which case she is treated with ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). It is one of two things: either she has an organic illness resulting from this fall, which the doctors treat, or she was afflicted with possession by jinn, which is treated with the correct, Sharia-compliant ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with the people of knowledge, not with sorcerers and fortune-tellers. Yes.
