Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and Placing the Hand on a Woman's Head
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for people, with the permission of Allah, and since I do not take money from anyone, and I have been doing this for eighteen years, do I receive reward for it? Also, before the recitation, I remind the patient of Allah and obedience to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and then I place my hand on the woman's head. Is there any sin on me for this?
Answer:
You have done well in this. If you have knowledge of ruqyah and understanding of it, and you treat people for the sake of Allah, this is beneficial for the Muslims and you are rewarded for it. But do not place your hand on the woman's head; perform the ruqyah without placing your hand on her. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
