Taking a fee for the Shari'ah-compliant ruqyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abdullah from the Noble Makkah says: What is the ruling on reciting over the sick as a Shari'ah-compliant recitation for a fee?

Answer:
There is no harm in taking a reward for the ruqyah, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
You are most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's Book.إن أحق ما أخذتم عليه أجرا كتاب الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 5737
and the fact that the Companions treated the one who was bitten, and they sought someone to recite over him, so one of them recited over him and took from them a flock of sheep. And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approved them for that, yes.

The presenter:
Yes
