Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: There is a man who performs ruqyah for people, and he has placed two wolves in a cage in his house. Do people go to him? And is he reported to be doing this?
The Shaykh:
A man, what?
The questioner:
He performs ruqyah for people.
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is forbidden, and the Committee has issued fatwas that it is not permissible to keep dogs or wolves, or a piece of wolf skin, or anything similar. All of this is superstition; it is superstition and false belief. This action is not permissible, and it has been issued that one who does this is prevented from performing ruqyah, prevented from performing ruqyah, and is questioned and held accountable for this action.
