The ruling on writing ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with verses
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : He says: We heard yesterday the word of the brother Yaqub that the Sufiyyah (the Sufis), among their beliefs and actions, are that when a woman who wants a man comes to them, they write for her some verses. So what is there regarding what is reported from some of the Salaf (the earliest generations) about permitting ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) by writing, as it came from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) that a woman was brought to him whose labor was difficult, so he wrote for her the verse of distress, and likewise it is reported from Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) that a person came to him who was bleeding from his nose, so he wrote on his nose [Hud 11:44] not here
Answer : The problem is that they write, the problem is that they write verses that have no connection to the illness, this is the problem. It is permissible if there is a connection between them, because the Qur'an is a healing, but nothing is like al-Fatihah (Surat al-Fatihah),
And it was said, "O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, withhold [your rain]."
