Question

Recently, we have so many brothers making ruqyah syariah by reciting few ayats from the holy qur’an. Those brothers who are being cured by ruqyah, suddenly (some of them) will react in strange ways... signing that jinn is inside their body.

My questions is:

Is this method permissible ?

If we recite qur’an constantly/ daily , won’t the jinn come out from our body automatically? What is the different between these ruqyah?

They said that the sign someone is having a jiinn inside their body is : being lazy for shalat, reading qur’an, sleepy, dizzy etc. Is this true? Jazakallah khair ........ looking forward for your reply..

Answer

The practice of Ruqya, reading some portion of the Qur’aan and certain du’aas and blowing on the affected person is mentioned in the Hadith. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and the Sahaaba [radhiallaahu anhum] practiced on Ruqya.

We are not Aamils (experts dealing in Jinns and black magic) and therefore we are not qualified enough to comment on issues related to black magic and Jinn.

Is ruqyah (reciting for healing) permissible?

“One should avoid blowing on food and drinks. It is against the etiquette of eating and drinking to do. It would be better and closer to proper manners, to wait for one’s food or drink to cool down before eating/drinking.”
