Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I recite the Qur'an and intend by the recitation to obtain reward, and also intend by it to seek healing from some of the illnesses that have befallen me, is my action permissible?

Yes, you may intend many benefits. It is not a condition that you intend only one thing. So if you recite the Qur'an for several benefits, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes, you want the reward and you want healing, so there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
