The ruling on the paper of the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) that confirms pregnancy

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There is a paper that has become widespread, which is the ruqyah that confirms pregnancy. It involves reciting certain verses and surahs over olive oil and ointments, reciting Surat al-Fatihah and others, and his saying:
And He restrains the sky from falling upon the earth, unless by His permissionوَيُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَن تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ
[Al-Hajj 22:65]


The Shaykh:
They are opportunists who sell these papers and take people's money, and they have no basis.

The questioner:
And likewise.

The Shaykh:
They confirm it, with Allah's permission. The treatment is to go to the doctors and they give us treatment. As for the paper, it neither confirms the pregnancy nor verifies the pregnancy. Yes, these are superstitions.
