Continuation of the discussion on the previous question regarding seeking ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. As for what follows, this is one of the tapes from the Hidayah wa al-Nur series of scholarly lessons and Islamic legal rulings by our Shaykh, Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani (may Allah preserve him). We ask Allah to benefit everyone with it. And now, with tape number one hundred and seventy-three.

The Shaykh : What is the reward for those who seek ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)?

The questioner : They will not enter Paradise. This is the hadith of 'Ikamah ibn Mahsan.

The Shaykh : I am not telling you a hadith or a verse; give me the answer.

The questioner : ...
'Aqqar bin Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah narrated from his father who said that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever seeks treatment by cauterization, or with Ruqyah, then he has absolved himself of At-Tawakkul (reliance upon Allah)." من اكتوى فقد بريء من التوكل

The Shaykh : Yes.

The Shaykh : No, one who applied cauterization. Abu Muhammad gave you the key.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : The recompense, the recompense is that they are not among the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment. Now, if that is the case, can a small child fall under this?

The questioner: No.

The Shaykh : Then.

The questioner : I mean the woman herself.

The Shaykh : It is not for herself, but for her child.

The questioner : For example, if we said toAbu Layla : "By Allah, perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for us for this child."

The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. Istirqa' (seeking ruqyah) is asking another person for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for whom? For himself.
Abu Layla : As for the patient himself saying, "Perform ruqyah," that is it.

The Shaykh : That is what it means.

The questioner : As for the one performing the ruqyah volunteering to do so.

The Shaykh : There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

The questioner : ...
That is the Sunnah (recommended practice). Yes.
