The ruling on ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with Surat Yusuf based on a dream
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman was afflicted with the evil eye, and she saw in a dream a man ordering her to perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and recite Surat Yusuf. Should she recite it, or is that a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
Answer:
A dream is not something by which a Shari'ah ruling is established. A Shari'ah ruling is established only by the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The legislation ended with the Sunnah of the Messenger after his death. Therefore, one does not take from a dream the establishment of a Shari'ah ruling. If someone comes to you with a dream and says, "Do such and such, do such and such," say, "No. There is no legislation except during the lifetime of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)." Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
