My wife asked me to take her to a Ruqyah practitioner, but I did not have the courage to do so, despite knowing that Ruqyah is permissible with its conditions, but many of these Ruqyah practitioners

The questioner : My wife asked me to take her to one of the people who perform Ruqyah on the sick, but I did not have the courage to do so, despite knowing that Ruqyah is permissible with its conditions. The reason for this is that many of these people who recite have made their work a means of earning a livelihood; they look at how much they are paid, and they may ask for a specific amount. Is my action correct?

The Shaykh : I say that the effect of a person in his recitation is according to his sincerity and his intention. What is required of the reciters through whom Allah benefits people is that they should be sincere in their intention for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and that they should intend by their recitation over the sick to draw near to Allah and to do good to the servants of Allah, so that Allah may benefit through them and place good and blessing in their recitation.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.
