Taking a fee for the Shari'ah-compliant ruqyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on going to those who perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and paying them money?
Answer:
If their beliefs are sound and they perform ruqyah with the lawful ruqyah, then there is nothing wrong with that, and it is permissible to take money for the ruqyah. The Companions who performed ruqyah on the one who was afflicted took a flock of sheep, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approved of that for them. So it is permissible to take money in exchange for the ruqyah; there is nothing wrong with that. However, performing the ruqyah for the sake of Allah the Exalted is the best. Yes.
