Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with the Qur'an and the adhkar (remembrance of Allah) mentioned in the Sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner sent a question to the program, saying: I hope that Honorable Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him) will speak about the correct ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), as many people in our time have made this ruqyah a profession without knowledge or correctness.

Answer:
Making it a profession means taking it as a trade. Yes. Yes, the entire Qur'an contains healing, and praise be to Allah, healing for physical diseases and healing for heart diseases; it is all healing. However, there are surahs and verses with which ruqyah is more likely to be accepted and to bring healing. The most important is al-Fatihah (Surat al-Fatihah), as it is a ruqyah according to the hadith, and it is called the ruqyah of al-Fatihah.
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ
[An-Nas 114:1]
. If one recites other than these, that is an addition, an addition to that from the Qur'an.
And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believersوَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
[Al-Isra 17:82]
Say, "It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure."قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌ
[Fussilat 41:44]
That is good. Yes.
