Ruqyah for Livestock

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding recitation and ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for livestock, is this permissible or not? And is it absolute, meaning if it is permissible, is it for all illnesses or only for the evil eye?

Answer:
I mean, they have reached the point where they charge a lot of money to perform ruqyah on livestock and on cars, so that the high fees create a market for ruqyah. There is no basis for performing ruqyah on livestock. However, a person, when he goes out to pasture, should recite over himself, his wealth, and his livestock. After the Fajr prayer and after the Maghrib prayer, if he goes out to pasture, he should recite over himself and his wealth, and he should return himself and his wealth [to safety]. There is no harm in that. As for reciting over the seller, we do not know of this, or over cars, we do not know of this. But these people do not want to increase their work for the sake of money, yes.
