The ruling on reciting Surat al-Baqarah in full for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)

Question:
Some ruqah practitioners order the patient to recite Surat al-Baqarah in its entirety in a single session, while others say there is no evidence specifying this, and that one should recite whatever one wishes from the Qur'an. Which of these is more correct?

Answer:
The more correct view is the one that says there is no specific limit to the recitation except by evidence. This has not been reported. One recites Surat al-Fatihah, because Surat al-Fatihah is a ruqyah. One recites whatever is easy for one from the Qur'an, especially the verses containing supplication to Allah the Exalted, calling upon Him by them to heal the patient, such as , such as "And if Allah should touch you with harm, there is no remover of it but He," such as Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Surahs of the Mu'awwidhat. As for al-Baqarah, it has not been reported; there is no evidence that it is recited in full for the ruqyah of a patient. This is an addition, speaking without evidence, and also an act of excessive strictness. However, one will not be able to recite Surat al-Baqarah in one place. Yes.
