The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some of those who recite to people recite over the loudspeaker and repeat their words.
The Shaykh:
This is one of the exaggerations in ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). They have ruined the ruqyah with these exaggerations in order to increase the money. They do not want the people to go to anyone else, so they recite over them with the microphone so that they do not go to someone else, and they take money from each person. In fact, they recite with white water and recite with the tank. All of this is exaggeration and taking the ruqyah out of its reality in order to take the people's money. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: And he repeats a word in a strange manner, such as Ghasaq, Ghasaq, and other Qur'anic words. What is the ruling on his action?
The Shaykh:
Ghasaq is not from the Qur'an on its own; it is part of a phrase. Al-Ghasaq is from the phrase "Al-Ghasaq, when it stands." It is not permissible to cut out one name and say this is from the Qur'an. This is the name of a Shaytan, this is the name of a Shaytan. Yes.
