Specifying a Fee for Ruqyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to specify a particular fee for the one who performs ruqyah? Is it permissible to adopt this?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to specify a particular amount for ruqyah, just as the Companions specified a fee for the people who performed ruqyah for their bitten one; they specified a flock of sheep for them. There is no harm in that. However, making this a craft and a profession is not something that should be done. It is not something that a person should limit himself to, i.e., limiting himself to people of a craft and people of a profession. Because if he does this, he will be dancing before people and they will not trust him; they do not trust him. Yes.
