The validity of ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) by reciting surahs after every prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sister Sarah from Marath says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, we follow this program with great enthusiasm, and we pray for Shaykh Salih that Allah reward him with the best reward for us and for the Muslim community. She says: I have a set of questions. She says: What is the validity of this ruqyah, O Shaykh Salih? Reciting the following surahs after every prayer: al-Fatihah, al-Kafirun, al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq, al-Nas, the Verse of the Throne, and the end of al-Baqarah, then placing the right hand on the pain and saying "In the name of Allah" three times, and "O Allah, I seek refuge in Your power and Your might from what I feel and what I fear" seven times.

Answer:
Yes, what is done after the prayer is a regular recitation (wird). This is the wird: reciting al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat (protective surahs). If he recites the Verse of the Throne and the last verse of Surat al-Baqarah, that is more complete and perfect. This is part of the wird by which Allah protects him. As for ruqyah, it is done when one is afflicted or ill. One performs ruqyah with al-Fatihah, with al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat, and with the supplications reported in the authentic Sunnah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
