One who devotes himself to Ruqyah al-Shar'iyyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation): Is it prescribed for him to stipulate a small symbolic amount, given that people need it?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a person devotes himself and his time to Ruqyah al-Shar'iyyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), is this devotion prescribed? And is it permissible for him to stipulate a small symbolic amount, since the need for his availability is urgent, as there is no alternative in his area and there are many sorcerers?

Answer:
This is deception, as we said yesterday: a person should not make Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) his profession to earn money. But if his Ruqyah is needed, he performs it, and if something is paid to him, he may accept it; there is no harm in that. However, it is not permissible for him to prepare himself for Ruqyah, open a shop, hire employees, and set appointments. This is not permissible; it is an exaggeration and a means of taking money. In most cases, the Ruqyah does not benefit, because he intends the money. Ruqyah is prescribed, but it is not to be made a profession. Yes.
