Section: The Method Of Ruqyah
02
The 3 RequirementsThere are many actions and incantations associated with Ruqyah which are not valid and contradict the teachings of the Shari’ah.Ibn Hajar (ra) outlined three principles for Ruqyah, which must be adhered to in order for Ruqyah to be valid. They are:The Ruqyah must be with Allah’s words or His Names and Attributes.The Ruqyah should be in Arabic or of an understandable meaning (You shouldn’t write or say something which is illegible or obscure).You should believe that they do not have an effect in of themselves, but rather the effect of the Ruqyah only occurs by the will of Allah.
