Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for the one afflicted with sihr (sorcery)

Question:
This questioner says: Peace be upon you, Honorable Shaykh. I have a sister who is suffering from the sorcery of a jinn in love. Can I perform ruqyah on her myself, relying on the Book of Allah the Exalted and the supplications of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? I should mention that I do not have these supplications memorized, except by reading them or by seeking the help of a ruqyah practitioner afterwards?

Answer:
This is not a matter of doubt. The phrase "the jinn in love" and the like, all of these are additions and the words of those who spread fear. But the one afflicted with an illness, whether it is madness, sihr (sorcery), or something else, must resort to the lawful ruqyah: Surat al-Fatihah, Surat al-Ikhlas, and the two Surahs of protection (al-Mu'awwidhatayn), along with whatever is easy of the lawful supplications and lawful amulets. This may be done by the afflicted person himself, or by one of his trusted brothers who is known for the soundness of his creed. Yes.
