Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it a condition for healing by the Qur'an that the reciter be knowledgeable in tafsir and meaning?
Answer:
No. If he is proficient in recitation, he recites the verse with a sound intention from both the one performing the ruqyah and the one being treated, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) heals through the ruqyah. Yes. Even if the one performing the ruqyah is not knowledgeable, it is required that he be sound in his creed. He must not be one of the charlatans or the sorcerers. His creed must be sound, and he must not include in the ruqyah anything that is not prescribed. Yes.
