Ruqyah for Livestock and the Story of Umm Ma'bad with the Prophet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: It is reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), during the Hijrah, passed by a woman who had a sheep. He asked her for milk, but she said there was no milk in this sheep. Then he says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) touched the sheep's udder and spoke some words, and the milk came down. His question is: Does this mean it is permissible for us to perform ruqyah on livestock?

Answer:
This is the story of Umm Ma'bad when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by her. And this is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), because Allah placed barakah (blessing) in him. So this is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and is not recited over livestock. But livestock are treated with veterinary medicine. There are veterinarians who treat livestock. Yes, you go to them and have them treated. And if you know the treatment for this disease in the animal, then treat it. Yes.
