Question:
May Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, one of the brothers sent a question asking: Is it permissible to take a fee for Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)? And what is the story of the man who was stung by a scorpion, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give him a share of the spoils with you"?
Answer:
Yes, these were a group of polytheists. A group of the Companions hosted them. But they did not host them. They did not host the polytheists. The polytheists did not host the Companions. This was contrary to the noble traits and virtues of the Arabs, for they used to host guests and honor guests. So they went against what was the custom of the Arabs' virtues. They did not prepare food for the injured man. Yes.
