If a patient presents himself to another person for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) without explicitly stating his request, does this fall under seeking ruqyah from others?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a patient is with a person and mentions in conversation that he is ill or possessed in order to have him recite over him, but does not explicitly make this request, does this count as seeking ruqyah from others?
Answer:
It does not count, but one should leave this matter alone. If the intention behind the mention is to seek ruqyah, that is an implicit request, an implicit question. Leave it and entrust the matter to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes. He should perform ruqyah on himself; he should recite for himself, making du'a' (supplication) for himself and reciting from the Qur'an. Yes, he does not need people. Yes.
