The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) restricted to specific texts, or is experimentation permissible since it is for treatment and not for worship? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
What do you mean by ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)?
The questioner:
It is restricted to specific texts.
The Shaykh:
How is it restricted? Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is done with the Qur'an, with supplications, and with supplications that conform to the Book and the Sunnah. Even if the specific wording is not found, as long as it conforms, there is no harm in that, so it is not restricted to specific texts.
The presenter:
Please proceed.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
