Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it permissible to take a fee or take money for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)?

Yes, there is nothing wrong with that,Sahih al-Bukhari 5737. The Companions took ruqyah for the one who was bitten, and they asked for ruqyah for him, so some of the Companions performed ruqyah on him, and he stood up as if he had been untied from a rope, and they gave him a flock of sheep and left, saying: Do not divide it until you ask the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). They took the sheep to al-Madinah, and when they came to the Messenger, they asked him, and he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 5749 Sahih al-Bukhari 5737. Yes.
