Question:
What is the explanation of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 911
Answer:
The explanation is clear. "They do not seek ruqyah" means they do not ask for ruqyah; they do not request anyone to perform ruqyah for them, because this is a matter where a person should be modest and avoid asking people for help or needing them. He performs the ruqyah on himself; he performs the ruqyah on himself. Or, if one of his brothers says to her, "I will perform ruqyah for you," and he is the one who suggested it and said, "I will perform ruqyah for you," there is no harm in that. However, if she requests it out of a need for people, she should be modest and not ask people. As for cupping, it is well known; cupping with fire is disliked because it is a form of torture with fire. It is permissible; it is permissible, but it is disliked because it involves the use of fire. If one can do without it, it is better to use other medicines. If one needs it and there is no other medicine that removes the dislike, the dislike is removed with the need. If only cupping is effective, he cups and there is no dislike in that, if Allah wills. However, if there are other medicines that suffice instead of cupping, then cupping is disliked. As for taking omens, it is shirk (associating partners with Allah), may Allah protect us from it. Taking omens is pessimism regarding things, believing that they cause harm or benefit; this is shirk. Taking omens is shirk. Yes.
