If one of my children falls ill, I perform the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for him. Is this ruqyah permissible, or is a specialized ruqyah practitioner required?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. A listener from al-Ahsa, who has indicated her name with the letters Ha, Sad, and M, says that she is an Egyptian woman and the mother of four children. She says that when one of them falls ill, she performs the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for him by reciting the adhkar (remembrance of Allah) from a religious book called "Ruqyah from the Book and the Sunnah." Is this ruqyah permissible, or is a specialized ruqyah practitioner required?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, but on the condition that what is mentioned in this book is authentic and established from Allah and His Messenger. I do not know about this book whether it is authentic or not, because there are books of superstitions, and especially books prepared for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and treatment, often contain superstition, lies, or shirk (associating partners with Allah), may Allah protect us from that. So this book must be issued by a trusted scholar. Yes.
