Is what the two men did—writing the name of Allah with musk on the hands and forehead, asking for it to be rubbed, sitting in a specific posture, reciting certain verses, sprinkling water, predicting the presence of angels around the questioner, stating that her provision would be doubled, warning her against a specific teacher, drawing her attention to her brother’s frequent singing in the bathroom, along with the accompanying loud sound of the bathroom fan—and then giving her water to drink and to anoint herself with, considered a valid Ruqyah (Islamic exorcism/healing) or not?
