Seeking cure through the verses of the Quraan Majeed

Question

I want to ask what are virtues or benefits of reciting:

سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍ

which is ayat-58 of Surah-e-Yaseen? I have heard that reciting it frequently is beneficial for good livelihood and health and so many other things.

Answer

Seeking cure through the verses of the Quraan Majeed is permissible on condition that nothing impermissible is joined to it. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Hold on to the two means of cure, Honey and the Quraan" (i.e. in regard to seeking shifa and remedy for spiritual and physical ailments).

Hence, it is permissible for one to recite this verse as a wazeefah (to acquire this benefit) on condition that one does not regard this practice to be sunnah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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.”
