Is ruqyah among the stronger positions regarding its benefit?

The questioner : We understood this.

The Shaykh: All right.

The questioner : We come to the chapter on the weaker position regarding its benefit.

The Shaykh : Seeking ruqyah.

The questioner : Seeking ruqyah. Is ruqyah among the stronger positions regarding its benefit?

The Shaykh : Ruqyah has a second aspect. Ruqyah is an act of worship, whether it brings benefit or not, it is worship. It is a supplication, like a man who calls upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic); it may be answered, or it may not be answered. So, the fact that the response is doubtful does not mean we classify it as seeking ruqyah. No. Because seeking ruqyah is a request from the servant, from the servant. But when you call upon Allah with a ruqyah or with a general supplication, for example, this is servitude, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ruqyah is worship. So, whether its effect is realized or not, they are the same, because it is worship.

The questioner : When you said ruqyah is worship, you linked it to supplication. Is there a second hadith that ruqyah is worship?

The Shaykh : No, no. There is no hadith, but it is an explanation.

Another questioner : You mentioned it in the context of your speech about supplication.
The questioner: ... Call upon Allah for me.

The Shaykh : The weaker position.

Another questioner : The weaker position.

The Shaykh : Yes.
