How a Person Performs Ruqyah on Himself

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, he says: Shaykh, how can a person perform ruqyah on himself? What is the method of the Shari'ah ruqyah, and what supplications and dhikr are recited in it?

Answer:
Yes, he performs ruqyah on himself by reciting and blowing on himself, or on the place of pain and suffering, or by reciting over water and drinking it. This is his ruqyah on himself. Ruqyah in the Qur'an appears in some surahs, such as Surat al-Fatihah, with the ruqyah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: Some of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) came across a tribe amongst the tribes of the Arabs, and that tribe did not entertain them. While they were in that state, the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Have you got any medicine with you or anybody who can treat with Ruqya?" The Prophet's companions said, "You refuse to entertain us, so we will not treat (your chief) unless you pay us for it." So they agreed to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them (the Prophet's companions) started reciting Surat-al-Fatiha and gathering his saliva and spitting it (at the snake-bite). The patient got cured and his people presented the sheep to them, but they said, "We will not take it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful)." When they asked him, he smiled and said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? Take it (flock of sheep) and assign a share for me."وما أدراك أنها رقية

Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreakقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ
[Al-Falaq 113:1]
,
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ
[An-Nas 114:1]
. This is the ruqyah by which the sick person is treated, and by which a person treats himself. Yes.
