What is the difference between Ruqyah Shar'iyyah and Ruqyah Shirkiyyah?
Category: Ruqyah Basics
Answer
Ruqyah Shar'iyyah uses only the Quran, Allah's names, and authentic duas — in clear Arabic, with the belief that healing comes from Allah. Ruqyah Shirkiyyah involves unknown words, symbols, calling upon jinn, mixing animal parts, or any practice that compromises tawheed. The first is medicine; the second is poison.
