What is Recited for the Sick Person During the Lawful Ruqyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a set of questions related to the topic of lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), and we hope to address them. This question asks: Does one recite verses of protection from illness over the patient during the lawful ruqyah, or does one recite verses from the Book in general?

Answer:
So, Surat al-Fatihah is the original ruqyah; Surat al-Fatihah is the base. The three surahs are recited with it: Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat. They are recited along with al-Fatihah. If one recites something from the Qur'an with these surahs, such as
And when I am ill, it is He who cures meوَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:80]
, such as
And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Himوَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ
[Al-An'am 6:17]
, that is good; it is a fine thing. And such as His saying, (Exalted and Majestic is He),
And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercyوَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ
[Al-Isra 17:82]
. If one recites the verses that contain healing along with al-Fatihah, al-Ikhlas, and the two Mu'awwidhat, then it is likely that Allah will cure the sick person thereby. Yes.
