What is Ruqyah?
Category: Ruqyah Basics
Answer
Ruqyah is the recitation of Quranic verses, the names and attributes of Allah, and authentic Prophetic supplications used as a means of seeking healing and protection. It is permissible when it relies solely on the Quran, Allah's names, and Sunnah-based duas — and when the person believes the healing comes from Allah alone, not from the words themselves.
