Question about ruqyah and alternative medicines.


Question about ruqyah and alternative medicines. 

By Shaykh Falaah Ismaeel Mundakar


السؤال:
نحبكم في الله شيخنا، ما حكم فتح عيادة للرقية والطب البديل؟

The Question


-We Love you for the sake of Allah, Oh our Shaykh, what is the ruling on beginning visits with a doctor for ruqyah (Islamic Exorcism of a Jinn) and alternative medicine?

الجواب:
أحبك الله الذي أحببتنا من أجله ووفقنا الله وإياك. ولكن الرقية لا بد ضبطها بالمعايير الشرعية، وننصحك بقراءة كتابنا الرقية الشرعية بين التطبيق والتنزيل. وكثير من الإخوان فتحوا دوراً للرقية الشرعية ثم مالت بهم إما طمعاً وإما فتنةً في النساء أو غيرها والعياذ بالله ؛ فلذلك المحاذير الشرعية ينبغي التنبه لها والضوابط الشرعية لابد من استيفائها ويجب أن تعلم أن السلف لم يجعلوا دوراً للرقية، إنما كان الراقي أو كان القارئ أو قارئ القرآن أو حافظ القرآن إذا طلب منه والعالم والإمام والشيخ وطالب العلم متى ما طلب منه يقرأ ويرقي دون أن يجعل داراً خاصةً لأوقات محددة ورسوم وأموال وغيرها. أما الطب البديل فهذا جائز إن كان في قضايا الأعشاب والأمور المباحة أيضاً كما ذكر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم (اعرضوا علي رقاكم) والرقى والأدوية لا بأس بها ما لم تكن حراماً أو إثماً أو شركاً

The Answer


-May Allah love you because you loved us for His sake, and may Allah make us and you successful. However, the ruqyah it must be with correctness according to the standards of the Shariah (Islamic Law). We advise you to read our book “The Legislated Ruqyah between the Application and the Revelation.” And many brothers conquered these attacks (by the Jinn) by the legislated ruqyah then later inclined to them, either to desires, or a trial with the women, or other then them, and Allah’s protection is sought. So for that the warnings of the shariah are suitable to be paid attention to and the precepts of the shariah must be fulfilled and it is necessary to know that the salaf didn’t make a circle for the ruqyah. It is only the raaqi (exorcist) or the qaari (reciter of al-Quraan) or the haafidh (memorizer) of the Quraan and the scholar and the imam and the shaykh and the student of knowledge when he is sought from he reads or he makes ruqyah. Translator’s note-(it is not from what is recommended however, to ask for a ruqyah to be done on you). Other than that he makes a session especially for appointed periods of time and for a fee and other than it. As for the alternative medicine then this is allowed if it is in the issue of herbs and the permitted affairs as well. Like what the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam mentioned-“turn to using your incantations (ruqyah).” And in the ruqyah and the medicines there is no harm in using them as long as they are not haraam (forbidden in the Quraan and the Sunnah), or if they are a crime or a sin, or shirk (blasphemy, idolatry, or superstition in worship, or worshipping Allah with a partner).
