Question: What is the Islaamic position regarding the ruqyah? I have heard about a companion (of the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)) who treated a patient by ruqyah, and was given some sheep in return. This was approved by the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), who said:
((Assign a share for me with you)).
And it is also reported that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) performed ruqyah by placing his hand over the painful area and supplicate:
((Lord of mankind, I beg You to remove the suffering)).
I have also heard that when the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) described the seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without judgement, he said:
((They are those who do not perform ruqyah nor do they seek ruqyah for themselves)).
It is also said that ruqyah is considered as shirk. I request you explain the matter to me so that I can be clear about it.
Response: It is allowed to perform ruqyah using Qur.aanic verses and legislated supplications, as the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:
And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
