Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Adhwa from the Noble Makkah says: I recite the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for people, praise be to Allah, and I do not expect any amount from them, but if they give me something, I accept it. Is that permissible?
Answer:
Yes, that is permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 5737. So one may take a fee for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), and one may take a fee for teaching the Qur'an. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
