Fatwa No. ( 18392 )
Q: What should the one who treats with the Qur'an do if he is brought a person from the People of the Book who is suffering from demonic possession? And is the treatment of benefit, given that he does not believe in Islam?
A : It is permissible to treat a non-Muslim with the Qur'an; because that is an act of excellence in worship, and Allah says:[Al-Baqarah 2:195] , and the Exalted said: [Al-Mumtahanah 60:8] , and his healing through the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) may be a cause for his Islam. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

And do good; indeed, Allah loves the doers of good.
وَأَحْسِنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَAllah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
لاَ يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِكُمْ أَنْ تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ
