Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: There are some families who are famous for performing ruqyah for snake or scorpion bites, and the patient is cured by the permission of Allah, even if the one performing the ruqyah is a small child.
Answer:
This is an exaggeration. Ruqyah is beneficial by the permission of Allah for every Muslim. It is not specific to certain families or specific people. Every Muslim who is skilled in ruqyah, Allah makes it beneficial through him.
