Question:
In a hadith, the meaning of which is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that seventy of his Ummah will enter Paradise without reckoning, and among them are those who do not seek ruqyah. This hadith, O honorable Shaykh, what is its intended meaning?

Answer:
Answer: It is not with the wording "those who do not seek ruqyah," but rather "(those who do not seek ruqyah from others)," meaning they do not ask others to perform ruqyah for them. "(They do not seek ruqyah, nor do they undergo cauterization, nor do they take omens as bad signs)." "(They do not seek ruqyah)" but they are self-sufficient regarding people and perform ruqyah on themselves. If someone comes to perform ruqyah for them without their request, there is no harm. The intended meaning is being self-sufficient regarding people. So, do not ask for ruqyah; this is better and more complete in tawhid (the oneness of Allah). As for cauterization, it is disliked (makruh) except in cases of need, in which case there is no harm, because it is tormenting oneself with fire. "(Nor do they take omens as bad signs)" means they do not consider things unlucky. Taking omens as bad signs is shirk (associating partners with Allah), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So they left these things; they left the disliked things and the forbidden things. Taking omens as bad signs is forbidden (haram), while cauterization is disliked (makruh). Asking people for ruqyah is also disliked (makruh), but there is no harm in performing ruqyah on themselves or having others perform ruqyah for them without their request; there is no harm in that.
