The Ruling on Listening to the Qur'an from the Radio for the Purpose of Healing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A sick woman has a radio placed by her head playing a Qur'an broadcast, and she was healed. Is it permissible to believe that the Qur'an is what healed her? And is this action permissible?
Answer:
No, this means she finds comfort in listening to the Qur'an. Her comfort in listening to the Qur'an and her joy in it may be among the causes of Allah's pleasure and among the causes of her healing. Otherwise, healing is not from the Qur'an; healing is from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). But Allah made the Qur'an a healing; because it is His speech. [Surat al-Fussilat: 44].
So a person takes pleasure in it, reads it, and seeks healing through it, meaning he believes that Allah made it a healing. The healing is from Allah, not from the speech itself, but the healing is from Allah. However, Allah made reflecting upon His Book, and making the sick person listen to its recitation, and reciting good supplications over the sick person, among the causes of healing.

قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُدًى وَشِفَاءٌSo a person takes pleasure in it, reads it, and seeks healing through it, meaning he believes that Allah made it a healing. The healing is from Allah, not from the speech itself, but the healing is from Allah.
