Improving Intention and Combining Ruqyah with Medical Treatment

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah expand your horizons. I have an illness in the colon involving heat and inflammation. I have performed ruqyah on myself, drunk honey, and consulted doctors without any benefit. What is the intention of Your Eminence when you mention improving the intention?

Answer:
Yes, improving the intention and having a good intention with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), having good opinion of Allah, and relying on and placing trust in Allah is required of every Muslim. As for treatment, seek it directly from the doctors. The colon is treated by doctors, so treat it with them, while relying on Allah, and while not neglecting yourself with the supplications and protective invocations prescribed by the Shari'ah. Combine the beneficial means. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
