Making Ruqyah a Profession for Livelihood

Question:
Is it permissible to make treatment and ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) a profession, so that it becomes his job, and to be contracted exclusively with the rulers?

Answer:
This is not advisable, as it neglects other works and he connects with this and makes it a profession, because this turns it into... into a means of sharing, were it not that he desires it only for the sake of worldly gain, and uses the Qur'an for the sake of the world. It is not permissible for him to devote himself to this matter and make it a profession, working and seeking sustenance, and he has a barrier that he performs ruqyah when it is convenient for him and he has wealth. As for making his partnership and all his work in ruqyah for the sake of money, this is not advisable for him, and it may lead to some defect in his creed or his religion due to greed, enticing people, and the like.
