Question:
A questioner asks: Is it permissible to take money for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and cupping?
Answer:
Yes. Yes. It is permissible to take money for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). Because the Companions who performed ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on the one who was bitten agreed to take a flock of sheep. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved them for that and said, "The most deserving thing for which you take a wage is the Book of Allah." So a wage is taken for teaching the Qur'an, for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) with it, and for writing it; a wage is taken for that, yes.
