The Meaning of Ruqyah and the Hadith of 'Aishah Regarding It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is 'Aishah's (may Allah be pleased with her) statement to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Why don't you seek a ruqyah?" to which he replied, "As for me, Allah has protected me," evidence for the permissibility of removing sorcery with sorcery?
Answer:
No. The ruqyah referred to is the lawful ruqyah, which consists of the Qur'an and supplications. This is what is meant by ruqyah. Ruqyah is of two types: a forbidden ruqyah, which is shirk (associating partners with Allah), and which is ruqyah through sorcery; and a lawful, permissible ruqyah, which is treating sorcery with permissible medicines and recitation from the Qur'an and from lawful supplications, while placing one's reliance on Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
