Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Does reciting Surat al-Fatihah suffice for the lawful ruqyah?
Answer:
It suffices, with a sound intention, if Allah wills. However, the entire Qur'an is better. If one adds to it and recites Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat (chapters of protection) along with it, that is more complete. Yes. Otherwise, those who performed ruqyah in the past did not have the reciter add anything beyond Surat al-Fatihah. Yes.
