The Ruling on Ruqyah (Healing by Qur'anic Recitation) and Wearing Amulets, and the Ruling on One Who Denies the Obligation of Reciting the Basmala Out Loud

Question:
In his other question, he says: After the 'Isha' prayer, a man came to me and said, "Why did you not recite 'Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim' aloud?" When I was about to tell him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said so, he replied, "Yes, the Messenger, yes, 'Abd al-Salam al-Nabulsi." We seek refuge in Allah from that. He said that this 'Abd al-Salam is an actor. What is the ruling on this man? And does he have a path to repentance? I know that whoever insults the Messenger has committed disbelief and has no repentance.

Answer:
First, there is an element of shirk (associating partners with Allah) in it. This is a point of disagreement among the scholars. It was said that it is permissible because there is no harm in it, as it is the speech of Allah and part of the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and there is no harm in it. However, the correct view is that it is not permissible, because it falls under the general category of ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) about which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Thus, it falls under the general category of ruqyah and tamimah (amulets). Therefore, the correct view is to prohibit wearing amulets absolutely, whether they contain verses from the Qur'an or not. Yes.
