Question:
This questioner says: If there is someone stronger than me in faith and more God-fearing, if there is someone more God-fearing and more knowledgeable than me, and I know that I am in sin and that I have weakness in my faith, should I ask him for ruqyah, or is it better for me to perform ruqyah on myself?
Answer:
Ask for ruqyah for yourself; do not ask for ruqyah from others. Be self-sufficient regarding people. Even if you are a sinner, it is not necessary that you be perfect and free from all sins. All of us, there is no power and no strength except with Allah, we are not free from sins. Yes.
