Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. If one seeks forgiveness and then wishes to fulfill this seeking of forgiveness in this hadith, is it possible for him to be among those who seek ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) from them?
The Shaykh:
Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). Yes, indeed. No, he does not enter among the seventy. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says: This is if he seeks ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation); he has lost this quality.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek forgiveness from Allah.
The Shaykh:
It includes everyone who asks people, everyone who asks people for their money or for their affairs; he enters into this and loses this quality.
