The ruling on seeking ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and whether it contradicts tawakkul (reliance upon Allah)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He also asks: Does seeking ruqyah from another person contradict perfect tawakkul?
The Shaykh:
Seeking ruqyah from another person is permissible. You may ask someone else to perform ruqyah on you, but it is better for you to perform ruqyah on yourself and be independent of people. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
It does not contradict tawakkul. Seeking ruqyah from another person does not contradict tawakkul, because it is a means, and means do not contradict tawakkul. One combines the means with tawakkul upon Allah.
