Requesting ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), yes. Is it to be judged by analogy with seeking healing through recitation?

The Shaykh:
Yes, every request made to creation that involves a need for them, the fact that you are self-sufficient without them is undoubtedly part of the perfection of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). The Companions pledged allegiance to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not to ask anyone for anything. So if one of them had his whip fall off while he was on his mount, he would not ask someone to hand it to him, but he would dismount and pick it up himself. Yes.
