Question: What is the ruling of performing the ruqyah with the Qur.aan and authentic prayers and supplications of the Prophet ﷺ?
Response: It is permissible to perform the ruqyah with the Qur.aan and authentic prayers and supplications of the Prophet ﷺ for purposes of protection and healing from that which inflicts a person in terms of illness. For example, [it is recommended to recite] Aayah al-Kursee, Soorah al-Ikhlaas, Soorah al-Falaq, Soorah an-Naas and Soorah al-Faatihah. And [from the Prophetic prayers and supplications]:
«O Allaah! Lord of mankind, I beg You to remove the suffering. I beg You, as You are the Healer, and there is no healing but Yours to bring about a healing that leaves behind no ailment».
And:
«I seek refuge in Allaah’s perfect words from the evil of all that He has created, from all devils and insects and from envious eyes».
…and that which are similar [to these].
And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet ﷺ and his family and his companions.
