The ruling on reciting Surat Yasin by repeating its verses for healing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it true that if you have a need or a sick person, you get up an hour or two before the Fajr prayer, perform wudu, and recite Surat Yasin and Surat al-Fatihah, repeating them four times? At the beginning of reciting Surat Yasin, you recite the word "Yasin" seven times. When you reach the twenty-eighth verse, to the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Ya-Sin 36:38], you recite it fourteen times. When you reach the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Ya-Sin 36:58], you repeat it seven times. When you reach the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Ya-Sin 36:81], you repeat the verse sixteen times. You complete the recitation of the surah, pray two rak'ahs, and make du'a for whatever you wish. Is this correct? And is the du'a in this case answered and prescribed? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
All of this is invalid and has no basis. It is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and Allah has not sent down any authority for it. Among the means of healing is ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). One does not recite to the sick person; rather, one recites the Qur'an and blows on him. This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ruqyah and was himself subjected to ruqyah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: regarding their journey, that they recited Surat al-Fatihah for a snake bite, so Allah healed him. He said: "It was as if it was released from a bond." He said: "And what makes you think it is ruqyah?" So al-Fatihah is ruqyah. Likewise, the two Mu'awwidhat: "I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak" and "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind." And likewise, the rest of the Qur'an is healing, mercy, guidance, light, and healing from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So one performs ruqyah on the sick person and recites to him. As for what the questioner mentioned regarding reciting Surat Yasin at a specific time and repeating verses from it, this has no basis. It is a bid'ah, and it is not permissible to do it. It is not permissible to do this. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point
وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا[And] "Peace," a word from a Merciful Lord.
سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍIs not He who created the heavens and the earth

There is no ruqyah except for the evil eye or a snake bite. And when a group of his Companions informed him
لا رقية إلا من عين أو حمة، ولما أخبره نفر من أصحابه
