Fatwa Title : Helping non-Muslims with Ruqyah
Fatwa No. : 88454
Fatwa Date : 16/08/2004

Question:

A Shaykh is refusing to help non-Muslims
(Christians) in case of Sihr by reading Ruqiyah
using Ayah from Surah - Isra: 82 as justification. Is
he right? Are there any Hadeeth saying that
Ruqiyah shouldn't be used to help people with Sihr
unless they are Muslims?

Fatwa:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the
Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of
worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His
slave and Messenger, may Allaah exalt his mention
as well as that of his family and all his companions.

There is no disagreement among the scholars
concerning the permissibility of making Ruqyah
(reading Qur'an and Prophetic supplications) to
non-Muslims. The evidence for this is the narration
of Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri, may Allaah be pleased
with him, who said that they came during a journey
to a tribe of Arabs, who refused to host them. But,
the leader of the tribe was bitten by a snake; they
(the tribesmen) came to the companions may
Allaah be pleased with them, and asked them to do
Ruqyah for him. The companions refused to do so
unless they paid them a wage for it. They agreed to
give them a flock of sheep. The companions then
made the Ruqyah and the leader of that tribe was
cured. When they came to the Prophet Sallallaahu
Alayhi wa Sallam, he said: "What you did is correct
and make one share for me too." [Muslim]
The narration proves that making Ruqyah for a
non-Muslim is allowed. As for the verse
(interpretation of the meaning): {And We send down
from the Qur'aan that which is a healing and a
mercy to those who believe (in Islaamic
Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the
polytheists (and wrong-doers) nothing but loss.}
[17:82], it does not prevent making Ruqyah for non-Muslims. The meaning of this verse is as explained
by Abu Qataadah, may Allaah be pleased with him,
if a Muslim listens to the Qur'an, he benefits from it
while a disbeliever does not benefit from that. A
believer is cured from doubts, hypocrisy, and other
spiritual diseases while a disbeliever does not get
such a cure.
Allaah knows best.

Jazakum Allah khayran for the fatwa.
A problem with making ruqyah for non muslims in cases of jinn possession is that they are likely to get repossessed almost immedeately. Lifestyle changes are needed in addition to the ruqyah for the jinn to stay away. Any object of shirk and disobedience to Allah attracts bad jinn like a magnet.
PS, would have been preferable if you had posted this in the Islam section.

l.Roqya is the treatment and relief of people whose lives are stuck and who have been suffering for years.
Secondly it’s a protection for muslims against shirk and it’s a way of strengthening their faith.
Thirdly it’s a way of daawa for non muslims because sahabas healed the chief of a polytheist tribe with Fatiha.
Then it is a fight against magicians, Satanists, seers and their associates, and a fight against all kinds of shirk till it completely disappears.
Sorcery being something harming the whole body, until the person falls sick or dies, causing disunion between couples, it is therefore lethal to do everything possible to remove it and use legal ways for treatment. Indeed, Allah The most High gave a remedy to every disease.
