I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Allah the Mighty and Majestic says regarding the noble Qur'an:
And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believersوَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
[Al-Isra 17:82]
He asks: Does this indicate that seeking healing through the Qur'an is specific to believers, such that it does not benefit a hypocrite or a disbeliever if the Qur'an is recited over them?

Answer:
The hypocrite and the disbeliever do not believe in the Qur'an, so how can the Qur'an be recited over them and they be treated with the Qur'an when they do not believe in it? Yes.
