Question:
This questioner says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, may Allah reward you. He says: Is there an authentic hadith established regarding reciting Surat al-Fatihah seven times over a sick person?
Answer:
I do not know of anything like this. As for the establishment of ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for the sick person with al-Fatihah, that is established. As for the number, yes, the number is required, but without being restricted to seven. Without restriction. Restricting it to a specific limit requires evidence. As for repeating al-Fatihah in the ruqyah, that is good.
