The ruling on taking a fee for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with the Qur'an

Question:
The questioner says: What is your opinion of one who takes a fee for reciting the Qur'an over the sick, and takes huge amounts, saying this is the value of the water in which it was recited, or the value of the oil and honey?

Answer:
First of all, a person should not make ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) a profession to earn a living from it; he should not take it as a trade to make a profit from it, but rather seek his sustenance through other means, and perform ruqyah for people out of kindness, out of kindness to them. If they give him something, there is no harm in him accepting it. However, making this a profession and a paid service, and opening a shop, is not permissible. It may be that he does not know how to perform ruqyah properly, but he wants the money. Some of them do not know how to perform ruqyah and do not know the proper method, but they want money and deceive people. This is not permissible; such people must be prevented. Ruqyah is a respected matter, and it must be performed by people of knowledge, understanding, and correct creed. It must be done with the Book of Allah and with the prescribed supplications, not with mumbling or unknown words, or with the names of devils. This is haram (forbidden) and shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah the Exalted. Therefore, ruqyah cannot be performed by anyone except one who has knowledge, understanding, and correct creed. Yes.
