The ruling on reciting specific verses for the sick in ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: There are among the ruqah practitioners those who recite specific verses from the Noble Qur'an over the sick. For example, they recite over one afflicted with the evil eye, repeating the words of Allah the Exalted, "an eye that moves," and they recite over one whose desire to eat food has diminished, repeating the words of Allah the Exalted,[Ali 'Imran 3:93], and they recite over one who feels pain in his neck, repeating the words of Allah the Exalted, "so free a neck." What is the ruling on that?
The Shaykh:
This has no relevance. This is a selection with no relevance. These verses do not correspond to the ruqah for the evil eye. "An eye that runs" is what is relevant to one afflicted with the evil eye. This is what has relevance. "The eye that runs" is in Paradise, but Surat al-Fatihah is the appropriate one.[Al-Falaq 113:5] The speed of the dawn. [Al-Qalam 68:51] This is also appropriate. One should bring the verses that mention being afflicted by the evil eye, along with the hadiths and supplications transmitted regarding this. As for bringing verses that do not correspond, which he has chosen, this is not done. There is no evidence for it, and it is not in its proper place. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says:
The Shaykh:
"Loosing of a neck," what does it bring for one whose neck hurts? Meaning, his neck is loose? "Loosing of a neck" means freeing a neck from slavery. Yes, it has no relevance. Yes.

All food was lawful to the Children of Israel
كُلُّ الطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلًّا لِّبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَThe Shaykh:

And from the evil of an envier when he envies."
وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَAnd indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes
وَإِن يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْThe questioner:
