Question:
A questioner says: We have a ruqyah practitioner who conditions his service on my bringing a bag of sugar to anyone who wants ruqyah. Is this condition permissible?
Answer:
No, this is a fraud. He reads from the Qur'an and from permissible supplications, and there is no need for salt or sugar or anything else. Yes. Glory be to Allah. He wants you to bring him sugar to drink and to deceive you with this false trick. Yes. Never approach him, and do not go to him. Yes.
