Is it permissible to perform ruqyah on a disbeliever with the intention of inviting him to Islam, while informing him that healing is by the will of Allah and not by the power of the ruqyah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in a Muslim performing for a non-Muslim, for the Quran is a healing, and Ruqyah is a means for healing, and Allah is the Healer. This is as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, approved of the Companions performing Ruqyah for the chief of a tribe of disbelievers who had been stung by a scorpion, and he permitted them to take a wage for it.
