Reciting the Qur'an over oneself and seeking ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) from others
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it customary for a person who is treated with the Qur'an to seek reassurance for his soul against illnesses?
Answer:
The one whom Allah has kept healthy should not go; the one whom Allah has kept healthy should praise Allah and not go. He develops doubts and says, "I want to go to a reciter to have him recite over me, I am afraid there is something in me." Perhaps Shaytan may take control of him, so he leaves it. The one whom Allah has kept healthy, and who recites over himself and recites in the morning and evening and increases in the remembrance of Allah, is better off than going to someone and saying, "Recite over me," is that not so? This is a matter of the soul, for those who do not seek ruqyah, meaning they do not ask others for ruqyah, because this involves humiliation before people and asking people for help.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
