Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding His saying[Yunus 10:57], is it permissible to perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on a disbeliever using the Qur'an? And does that benefit him?
Answer:
No, it is not. He did not say “for what is in the bodies”; he said “for what is in the chests.” This is not ruqyah. This is a healing for the hearts, and that is through faith.
