The Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an for Healing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to recite the Qur'an for the purpose of healing, and likewise to give charity, acting upon the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "Treat your lepers with charity," or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said?
Answer:
As mentioned before, if he seeks the Hereafter and seeks benefit in this world, there is no harm. If he recites the Qur'an over himself or over the sick person, seeking worship in that and the reward of recitation, and also seeking the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) of the patient and the healing of the patient or of himself, then there is no harm in that. There is no harm in that, because he has not excluded the intention of the Hereafter. However, if he seeks nothing but the healing of the illness, or the healing of the illness in himself or in another, and does not intend to worship Allah with this recitation, then he is seeking worldly matters with his deed, and this is not permissible. The Shaykh. I think Muslim recites the Qur'an and performs ruqyah on the patient without worshipping Allah the Exalted and Majestic with it. Yes.

It falls under shirk (associating partners with Allah), and he has no reward?
