Does reading Surat Al-Zalzalah cause a pregnant woman to miscarry, and should a pregnant woman inform the ruqyah practitioner to avoid reciting it?
A Muslim should not believe there is any harm in reading the surahs of the Quran, because the Quran is a healing and a guide. There is nothing that warns a pregnant woman against reading Surat Al-Zalzalah. In fact, those who memorize the Quran are keen on regularly completing its recitation. The word of Allah contains no evil; rather, some surahs may be beneficial in facilitating childbirth through experience, and this does not mean they cause miscarriage. Ibn Al-Qayyim mentioned that Imam Ahmad used to write verses to ease childbirth, and Ibn Uthaymeen stated that reciting verses that indicate ease, such as: (Allah intends for you ease) and Surat Al-Zalzalah, may be beneficial and proven by experience, Allah willing, because the entire Quran is a healing.
