The lawful ruqyah

The lawful ruqyah — Qur'an and established supplication without charms

A practical page arranged for what the Muslim recites for himself and his family, with the source of each chapter and the counts fixed where a count is established.

Ruqyah with the established text

The path of ruqyah: Qur'an, supplication, then reliance and taking the means

Begin with yourself and your family with what is established, and recite calmly and with presence of heart, and do not make ruqyah a door to charms or invented counts or attachment to persons.

①

Al-Fatihah

Al-Fatihah is recited as ruqyah, and the story of the ruqyah of the bitten person with it is established in the Sahih.

Recite it completely with reflection, and it may be repeated as needed without making a specific number a sunnah without evidence.

Signs at which one must stop

  • Charms or unknown symbols.
  • Seeking help from other than Allah or attachment to the reciter.
  • Counts and forms said to be required without evidence.
  • Preventing the sick from necessary medical treatment or giving the impression that every illness is caused by magic or the evil eye.
