What is the ruling on the narration "Do not perform ruqyah" and that it means the non-prescription of ruqyah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. What is your opinion of those who held that the narration means that ruqyah is not prescribed?
The Shaykh : This wording is unique to Muslim, and it is denounced; it is not authentic. For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite for his Companions. Do we say he is an exception to this? This is a witness to what we mentioned earlier, that a chain may be authentic while the text is denounced. And like what Muslim uniquely narrated,Sunan Abi Dawud 3252, his father's wording is denounced and anomalous, so it does not contradict his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
There are many things of this type. The aspect of this rule I mentioned to you is that the mistake of a single narrator is closer to demolishing a rule of the Shari'ah. Yes.
