Is it permissible to seek ruqyah from a raqi who recites poetry instead of the Quran, or is it better to perform ruqyah on oneself, especially given that there is no one else available in the village?

The statement by the rāqī (exorcist/healer), "Indeed, poetry is what reveals the condition," is either ignorance or a lie. It has not been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nor from the Companions or the Successors, that they performed ruqyah (exorcism/healing through recitation) on a sick person using poetry. Ruqyah is of four types: legitimate (recommended), bid'ah (innovative, forbidden), shirk (associating partners with God, forbidden), and permissible (a lawful supplication that contains no shirk or bid'ah). Ruqyah using poetry is not among the legitimate or permissible forms of ruqyah, nor is it a lawful supplication. Scholars have denounced supplicating with rhymed and ornate words chosen from the lexicon of poets, considering it an transgression in supplication. It is imperative to avoid this rāqī and replace him with a trustworthy one.
