Is ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for a non-Muslim permissible?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a non-Muslim asks me to perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on him, is it prescribed for me to do so?

Answer:
Yes, the Companions performed ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on a man who was a disbeliever. Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is a form of treatment. You offer it to Muslims and to those in need among the disbelievers, and perhaps it will be a means of da'wah (calling others to Islam), encouraging them in Islam. Yes.
