The Ruling on Taking a Fee for Ruqyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking a fee for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. A fee may be taken for correct ruqyah. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) took wheat from the people they performed ruqyah on, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of their taking it, and he said:
You are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book.إن أحق ما أخذتم عليه أجرا كتاب الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 5737


The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
