How is the correct ruqyah performed?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Question, O Shaykh, is ruqyah permissible by writing verses of the Qur'an that mention sorcery, then blowing on these written verses and mixing them with water until it foams, and then bathing with that water?
The Shaykh : There is no ruqyah except by recitation. The Sunnah is that there is no ruqyah except by recitation. As for writing and erasing the writing with water, some scholars say this is done, but we have not found any evidence for it in the Sunnah.
The questioner : Let us return to the previous topic.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : In the hadith of the Mi'raj, when the prayer was made obligatory upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and our master Musa (peace be upon him) reviewed it with him, how was that?
The Shaykh : No, how? May Allah reward you. Take the matters of the unseen as a rule and be at ease. Do not ask "how" regarding the unseen. It is sufficient for you to affirm and say "how" in a different way, with different words, and tell a long story, but it ends up saying the same word you said, "how." Do not ask "how" regarding the unseen. Faith is absolute and that is all, without asking how an attribute is, because it is the world beyond matter, as they say, beyond the intellect. Our material life is not measured by it, and vice versa. Please, go ahead.
