Do we believe in ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) that the cure is by the words of Allah Himself, or that it is a cause and the cure is from Allah?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When using ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with the Qur'an, using the Prophetic supplications, as well as oil and Zamzam water, do we believe that the cure is by the words of Allah the Exalted Himself, or that it is a cause and the cure is from Allah?

Answer:
Without a doubt, ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is a cause, and the cure is from Allah Mighty and Majestic. It is not permissible to rely on the ruqyah; rather, one must rely on Allah. This applies to all causes; it is not permissible to rely on them, but rather to rely on Allah Exalted and Majestic.
