Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His question is: What is the meaning of "they do not seek ruqyah" in the hadith of the seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning?
Answer:
It means they do not ask anyone to perform ruqyah for them, but they are self-sufficient in Allah the Exalted, because this is part of asking. Seeking ruqyah is a form of asking, and it is better that you do not ask people for anything. As for ruqyah, praise be to Allah, you are able to perform ruqyah on yourself. You are able to perform ruqyah on yourself with Surat al-Fatihah, Surat al-Ikhlas, the two Mu'awwidhat, and supplications. You are able to do this; you do not need people. However, if you ask for ruqyah, that is permissible, but the best, the best, is that you do not ask for it. That is the best. Do not understand that seeking ruqyah is forbidden; it is permissible, but leaving it off and being self-sufficient away from people is better.
