Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the opinion of one who makes ruqyah a profession and sets up a specific place for it? Is his action valid?
Answer:
This is contrary to what is preferred, and it indicates that he does not intend to benefit people, but rather intends to benefit himself and take people's money. This is if he is skilled in ruqyah. What about if he is not skilled in ruqyah and is not known as one who seeks knowledge, but rather, because he had some dirhams, he made himself a ruqyah practitioner, opened a shop, and put up cards and signs with prices, saying: the non-concentrated bottle is fifty, and the concentrated one is one hundred riyals. He did all this show and lying to people to take their money. Yes.
