The Meaning of "They Do Not Seek Healing by Ruqyah" in the Hadith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does the phrase "they do not seek to steal" in the hadith mean that they do not ask for or undergo non-legitimate ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), or what does it mean?

Answer:
No, it is the religiously prescribed vision, but they do not seek healing from anyone else, thereby dispensing with people. I mean, this is a matter. Your asking the ruqyah practitioner is a matter. Asking a created being. If you could dispense with him, throw yourself [into the situation]. You. That is better for you.
This falls under the category of leaving what is disliked; it is not forbidden, but leaving what is disliked, which is asking people. And cauterization is disliked. Teaching, compelling the Messenger, because there is teaching involved; if a treatment is found that dispenses with it, it is disliked. So this is leaving what is disliked: leaving theft and leaving the army are leaving what is disliked. As for those who do not take omens, this is leaving shirk (associating partners with Allah). It is a distinction regarding shirk; so they combined them. Leaving what is disliked, leaving what is forbidden. Yes. Leaving what is disliked. And they left what is forbidden, and they relied upon Allah as a precaution. Yes.
