The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. It is established in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.
The questioner : That he said:Sahih Muslim 220a Then he mentioned that they are Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 47:13 The question is that a person may sometimes be afflicted; his brother, relative, or friend may be afflicted, and he goes to seek ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) or cauterization for him. Is this something that the scholars disliked?
The Shaykh : No, he does not fall under that description. If the one who brought the raqi (practitioner of ruqyah) was not the patient, it does not harm him, and he does not fall under the description of one who did not seek ruqyah.
The questioner : But did he not seek ruqyah?
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : Did he not seek ruqyah?
The Shaykh : No, he did not seek it. His friend, brother, or relative brought it without his request and without his prohibition. He did not request it, nor did he prohibit it, so he does not fall under the description of one who did not seek ruqyah.
