The Basis of Ruqyah (Healing by Qur'anic Recitation) with the Hand and Blowing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Sultan from Riyadh says: When we perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on ourselves or others, we place our hands on the patient. Sometimes we blow on the patient, and sometimes we wipe over the patient. Do we use this method? And does it have a basis in the Shari'ah (Islamic sacred law)?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. You blow on the patient and place your hand on the site of the pain, the site of the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), unless the one being treated is a woman and the one performing the treatment is a man; in that case, he does not place his hand on the woman, but he is content with blowing on her while she is wearing the hijab (the covering prescribed for women) and there is no seclusion with a non-mahram (seclusion with a non-mahram). Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
