Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: There is a man in our country from the people of the Sunnah and the community who treats people with the Shari'ah ruqyah and cupping. He says he does not expand his ruqyah, and he has no other job, and he takes a fee for it; because he sees the permissibility when this person devotes himself to treatment like a doctor. His question is: Is this action permissible for him?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible. If he does not devote himself entirely, it is permissible for him to take for the ruqyah. Did not the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) approve the Companions who performed ruqyah for al-Layth with a handful of sheep? He approved them for that. It is permissible to take a fee for the ruqyah. Yes, and for teaching the Qur'an, for the most worthy thing for which you take a fee is the Book of Allah. Yes.
