Advice on the Expansion of Lawful Ruqyah

The questioner:
Peace be upon you. The questioner asks: Is there any advice you would offer regarding the expansion of lawful ruqyah?

The Shaykh:
Ruqyah.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
Lawful ruqyah is regulated and does not require anything beyond the Book and the Sunnah. Ruqyah is performed with the Qur'an or with lawful supplications, and both the one performing the ruqyah and the one receiving it should have good expectations of Allah and believe that healing comes from Allah and that ruqyah is merely a means and a cause, and it is not to be adopted for the sake of gathering money. Ruqyah is not to be made a source of livelihood and a means of accumulating wealth; rather, it is a matter of ihsan (excellence in worship). If something is given to him, there is no harm in his accepting it, but if he makes conditions with people, opens a shop, and sets prices, that has never been part of ruqyah; it has become buying and selling.
