Is it understood from his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): (Perform ruqyah as long as it does not involve shirk) that ruqyah is permissible with supplications not mentioned in the Sunnah and in places not mentioned in the Sunnah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A third question. Is it understood from his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): that ruqyah is permissible with supplications not mentioned in the Sunnah and in places not mentioned in the Sunnah, on the condition that it avoids shirk?
The Shaykh : It is permissible if you adhere to these conditions you mentioned. It is permissible.
The questioner : Yes, it may have an effect, it may be a counter-argument... his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) to that Companion who performed ruqyah on the leader of that group with al-Fatihah, where he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 5736, even though that Companion had avoided shirk?
The Shaykh : How do you say it may be a counter-argument? This supports it and does not counter it.
The questioner : How, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : On what basis did you bring this up?
The questioner : I brought it up because that Companion acted according to the saying...
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, may Allah guide you. I am telling you, on what basis did you bring up what you just mentioned?
The questioner : On the first question, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, I told you it is permissible on the condition of adhering to the conditions and restrictions you mentioned, and you said, but where is this counter-argument? This supports what I mentioned to you.
The questioner : Because that Companion, O Shaykh, acted according to that restriction, but despite that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:Sahih al-Bukhari 5736.
The Shaykh : What does this mean? Did he rebuke him?
The questioner : That is what I understand, O our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, your understanding is wrong. He is expressing wonder at how he succeeded in this ruqyah, since it is a ruqyah from the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This is not a rhetorical question of disapproval; this is called in the language of the Arabs: a declarative question, not a rhetorical question of disapproval.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : So I tell you, that is enough for you, so that you give a turn to someone else. Peace be upon you.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. Peace be upon you. Do not forget us in your supplication.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. I hope for you further success.
Perform ruqyah as long as it does not involve shirk.
ارقوا ما لم يكن شركًاThe Shaykh : It is permissible if you adhere to these conditions you mentioned. It is permissible.
The questioner : Yes, it may have an effect, it may be a counter-argument... his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) to that Companion who performed ruqyah on the leader of that group with al-Fatihah, where he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: Some of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) came across a tribe amongst the tribes of the Arabs, and that tribe did not entertain them. While they were in that state, the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "Have you got any medicine with you or anybody who can treat with Ruqya?" The Prophet's companions said, "You refuse to entertain us, so we will not treat (your chief) unless you pay us for it." So they agreed to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them (the Prophet's companions) started reciting Surat-al-Fatiha and gathering his saliva and spitting it (at the snake-bite). The patient got cured and his people presented the sheep to them, but they said, "We will not take it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful)." When they asked him, he smiled and said, "How do you know that Surat-al-Fatiha is a Ruqya? Take it (flock of sheep) and assign a share for me."
وما أدراك أنها رقية ؟!The Shaykh : How do you say it may be a counter-argument? This supports it and does not counter it.
