The Ruling on Asking People for Ruqyah and Medical Treatment

The questioner:
There is no need to ask people for help in this matter, nor is there anything that harms him, such as jinn. Rather, he should use other needs and other means, while having trust in Allah, relying upon Him, and knowing that success is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). May Allah grant success to everyone.

The Shaykh:
Yes. No, asking people is also [an option]. And let people ask him to circumambulate; I mentioned this four times. As for his own path, there is delay in that. It came in a hadith: It is weak, but there is no harm. Or I seek my brother, there is no harm. Yes. With Allah’s permission. He did not leave, but the first and the most severe is in that, otherwise it is usually by ruqyah.

The questioner:
For a long time, O Shaykh, for a long time, one said to the Messenger except

The Shaykh:
This is by precaution, precaution against the causes of evil, precaution against the causes of evil. Yes.

The questioner:
For example.

The Shaykh:
He fears, he fears, he fears regarding the fallacy.

The questioner:
May Allah keep you.

The Shaykh:
You have not fallen short. It is not unjust for me to advise. If one fears the causes of evil, there is no harm. And if he mixes with them while having trust in Allah, and sometimes for the sake of clarifying faith and trust in Allah, there is no harm, just as the leper ate and said, “I say Bismillah,” with trust in Allah. So avoiding harmful causes is prescribed.
