Is it permissible to recite the Abrahamic Prayer upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) during ruqyah (Islamic exorcism), or is that considered shirk (polytheism)?

Ruqyah (exorcism/healing through prayer) for magic, evil eye, aches, and illnesses is permissible if it is from the Qur'an and Sunnah or from supplications free of shirk (polytheism) and bid'ah (innovation), such as Al-Fatiha, Al-Mu'awwidhat (Surahs Al-Falaq and An-Nas), Ayat Al-Kursy, and the verses that invalidate magic in Surahs Al-A'raf, Yunus, and Taha.

Among the supplications reported in the Sunnah are: "O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the affliction, and grant healing, for You are the Healer...", "In the name of Allah, I perform ruqyah for you from everything that harms you...", "I seek refuge in the might and power of Allah from the evil of what I find and what I fear", and "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and harmful creature, and from every evil eye."

It is permissible to recite these supplications and verses over the patient or over water for drinking or bathing.

Sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, before and after supplication is commendable and is among the reasons for the acceptance of supplication, for every supplication is veiled until blessings are sent upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, as has been established in the hadiths.

Therefore, when beginning ruqyah, start by praising Allah and extolling Him, then sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, then reciting the verses and supplications of ruqyah, and then conclude by sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace be upon him. The best form of sending blessings upon the Prophet is the Salat al-Ibrahimiyyah.
