Question:
This person is asking whether it is permissible for a sick person to seek a ruqyah.
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible. It is permissible for him to seek a ruqyah, but not seeking it is better. It is better for him to perform the ruqyah on himself and recite over himself. If he does seek it, then it is permissible for him; there is no prohibition in it. Rather, the preference is for a person to be self-sufficient and not rely on others; that is what is best. He should perform the ruqyah on himself with the Qur'an and supplicate to Allah himself. That is closer to being answered. If he asks someone to supplicate for him or perform a ruqyah for him, that is permissible. Yes.
