The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Regarding ruqyah by writing, meaning that the ruqyah is written as a healing text, Shaykh, this is a practice that some people here engage in, whom they call "Amibtara."

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner :"Amibtara"

The Shaykh : Amibtara, or is this a conjunction? Or how else? Or is it a dialectal form? Perhaps "Amibtara" instead of "Bittara."

The questioner : This profession is not practiced by anyone but the Sufis, because this is a practice... because they adopt this as their sole occupation, and they add things like squares to this practice. Therefore, the Sunnis among us are scrupulous about this practice.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : ... Sometimes they prohibit it. Sometimes, Shaykh, do we say that ruqyah by writing is permissible... Our Shaykh has opened a very large door for those who write and add to it...

The Shaykh : By Allah, the Salaf did this. They would write on paper, meaning leather, or on paper, or in a vessel. They would write with saffron in it, pour water over it, stir it, and drink it.

The questioner : Is it permissible to make this a profession?

The Shaykh : Making it a profession is a separate matter, but it is beneficial. This is useful and tested. As for a profession, is it considered a profession there?

The questioner : But they add some superstitions to it... many things.

The Shaykh : What?

The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah. I say that every incident has its own story, and every issue has its specific ruling. Yes, Salim?

The questioner : May Allah forgive you, O Shaykh. From the camels...

The Shaykh : From the camels?

The questioner : ... on the strength of the camels.

The Shaykh : Huh?

The questioner : ... the hair

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : The hair affects it.

The Shaykh : It affects it? It affects it?

The questioner : Yes, indeed...

The Shaykh : And how does it affect it?

The questioner : For example, from the hair that passed through our lesson...

The Shaykh : Do you mean the chanting for the camels?

The questioner : Yes, indeed.

The Shaykh : Yes, it does not need this. It is well known that it delights them. Some of it... I did not perceive this thing. Some of it starts to make them dance. Have you heard of this, Salim?

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah!

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Therefore, it came in the hadith regarding the chanters for camels, he said:
Be gentle with the tender ones رفقا بالقوارير
because the camel starts to walk without...
The student: ...
