Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I feel ill, and I mostly suspect that I am afflicted by sorcery, or that I have been struck by the evil eye. I am hesitant to seek ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) so that I may be among the seventy thousand whom the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned as those who do not seek ruqyah. I am unable, or barely able, to perform ruqyah on myself. He asks: What is your guidance in this matter?
Answer:
If you seek ruqyah, there is nothing wrong with it. And if you leave it off, in the sense of relying on Allah and being patient, that is up to you. Yes.
