10 Violations in performing Ruqyah
Praise be only to God, and peace and blessings be upon his last
Prophet… and so:
I showed the permanent
committee of the scientific researches and Ifta' what was given to
His Eminence the General Mofti from His Excellency the Minister of
the Islamic affairs, endowments, calling and guidance, and attached
to it the prepared record by the representative of the branch of
the ministry of Islamic affairs, and the representative of the
organization of enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong at Al
Quassim, which was transmitted to the committee from the general
secretariat of the organization of the greatest scientists under
the number of (139/c) and the date of 8/1/1418 A.H, and the record
included many paragraphs (sections) that the committee answered it
as follows:
Section
one: Reading on water
containing saffron, and then dipping papers in it, then drying it,
and after that putting (dissolving) it in water, then drinking
it:
The
answer: Reading on
water containing saffron, then dipping papers in it, then it is
sold to the people for recovery using it- This isn't permissible
and must be prevented, because it is a deception and taking the
people's money falsely, also it is not from Ruqyah As Shar'eeyah
that is agreed on by the scientists; which is writing the verses in
a clear way on a paper or on any purified thing, then washing this
writing and drinking its washing water.
Section
two: How true is that
the patient (the person who is receiving Ruqyah) can imagine the
envier from the reading, or through ordering the Jinn to incarnate
to the patient his envier?
The
answer: The patient's
imagination for the envier during reading on him, and the reader's
order to the patient to do that is a diabolism and not permissible;
because it is a resorting to the Shaiatin (devils), as they are who
incarnate to him in the shape of the human envier, and it is a
prohibited performance because it is a diabolism, also it causes
enmity between people, and the spread of fear and panic among the
people, it is mentioned in this verse: "And there were men from
mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only]
increased them in burden" [Al Jinn 72:6]

Wa 'Annahu Kāna Rijālun Mina
Al-'Insi Ya`ūdhūna Birijālin Mina Al-Jinni Fazādūhum
Rahaqāan
Section
three: Touching the
woman's body as her hand, forehead, or neck directly without a
barrier with the excuse of pressuring and tightening on the Jinn
inside her especially that touching is done by the doctors in
hospitals, and what are the restrictions on that?
The
answer: The person who
treats with Ruqyah is not allowed to touch the woman's body at all
(who is receiving Ruqyah) because of the seduction; instead he
should read on her without touching. And there is a difference
between the work of the person who treats with Ruqyah and the
doctor; because the doctor can't cure people except by touching the
place which will be treated, unlike the person who treats with the
Ruqyah as his work is -Reading and spitting- it doesn't depends on
touching.
Section
four: Putting large
sized stamps written on it verses, supplications or calls, some
them are for magic, others for envy, and others for Jinn. Then the
stamp is dipped in a water containing saffron, then the papers are
stamped, after that these papers are detached and drank by the
patient:
The
answer: The person
who is treating by Ruqyah is not allowed to
write verses and Islamic supplications in stamps dipped in water
containing saffron, then these stamps are put on papers instead of
writing, then these papers are washed and drank by the patient,
because one of the conditions of the Ruqyah Ash Shar'eeya is that
the intention of the patient and who treats with Ruqyah is the
recovery using the Holy Qur'an while writing.
Section
five: The patient
should smell the skin of a wolf, claiming that it reveals whether
there is a Jinn or not, as the Jinn -their claim- fears the wolf,
scared away and get confused when he feels its
existence.
The
answer: The usage of
the wolf's skin to be smelled by the patient in order to know
whether he is insane or not isn't allowed, because it is a type of
magic and bad belief, so it definitely must be prohibited. And
their claim that the Jinn scares from the wolf is a legend which
has no base.
Section
six: Reading Qur'an
during Ruqyah by using a microphone, through the phone with in a
long distance, and reading on many people in the same
time:
The
answer: Ruqyah must be
on the patient directly, and can't be performed by using a
microphone or through the phone, because this violates what the
Prophet -peace be upon him-, his companions (may God be pleased
with them) and their good followers had done, and he said: "If
anyone introduces in our matter something which does not belong to
it, will be rejected". [Muslim]
Section
seven: The usage of
Jinn to know the envy or magic, also believing the incarnated Jinn
to the patient claiming that the envy and magic
The
answer: Using the Jin
in determining the kind, place of infection and its cure is not
allowed, because having aid from Jinn is disbelief. And God the
Exalted said: {"And there were men from mankind who sought refuge
in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden" [Al
Jinn 72: 6]
Transliteration:
Wa 'Annahu Kāna Rijālun Mina
Al-'Insi Ya`ūdhūna Birijālin Mina Al-Jinni Fazādūhum
Rahaqāan
And God the Almighty said:
"And [mention, O Muúammad], the Day when He will gather them
together [and say], "O company of jinn, you have [misled] many of
mankind." And their allies among mankind will say, "Our Lord, some
of us made use of others, and we have [now] reached our term which
you appointed for us." He will say, "The Fire is your residence,
wherein you will abide eternally, except for what Allah wills.
Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing." [Al An'am 6:
128]
Transliteration:
Wa Yawma Yaĥshuruhum Jamī`āan
Yā Ma`shara Al-Jinni Qadi Astakthartum Mina Al-'Insi Wa Qāla
'Awliyā'uuhum Mina Al-'Insi Rabbanā Astamta`a Ba`đunā Biba`đin Wa
Balaghnā 'Ajalanā Al-Ladhī 'Ajjalta Lanā Qāla An-Nāru Mathwākum
Khālidīna Fīhā 'Illā Mā Shā'a Allāhu 'Inna Rabbaka Ĥakīmun
`Alīmun
And the meaning of making use
of each other that some of the mankind glorified the Jinn,
surrender to them and got help from them, and Jinn served them
according to their desires and brought to them what they ordered,
for example telling them the type of disease and its cause, from
what they are informed despite the man; and they might lie as they
don't believe, so it is not allowed to believe them.
Section
eight: Playing some
verses of the Qur'an on a voice recorder for hours at the patient's
place, and deleting certain verses concerning magic, others for
envy, and others for Jinn:
The
answer: Playing some
verses of the Qur'an and supplications on a voice recorder is not a
substitute for Ruqyah; because Ruqyah is a work that needs faith
and intention while doing it, and interaction in order to spit on
the patient, and the recorder can't do that.
Section
nine: Writing Qur'an
and supplication on papers, and affixing it on a part of the body
as the chest and so on, or tying and putting it on the tooth, also
writing some of the charms from the legislative calls, tying it by
skin and putting it under the bed or any other places, also hanging
amulets if it was from Qur'an, supplication and calls:
The
answer: Affixing the
papers which are contains some verses of the Qur'an or calls on the
body or a part of it, or putting it under the bed, are not allowed,
as it is from the prohibited hanging of the charms according to his
say: "Who hang any charms, God will never make him
succeed"
And his speech: "spells, charms and love-potions are polytheism."
Section
ten: Some of the calls
haven't mentioned before as: "A strong rock, burning firebrand, May
the eye of the envier turn against him and his beloved
people"
The
answer: This
supplication has no foundation, and contains aggression on people
other than the aggressor, so it is prohibited to be used, according
to the Prophet's -peace be upon him- speech: "If anyone introduces
in our matter something which does not belong to it, will be
rejected".
And peace and blessings be
upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his
companions.
