There Is Nothing Wrong With Ruqyah That Does Not Involve Shirk
Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ،
بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَرْقِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقُلْنَا يَا
رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ "اعْرِضُوا عَلَىَّ رُقَاكُمْ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالرُّقَى مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ
فِيهِ شِرْكٌ "
Translation
'Auf b. Malik Ashja'i reported We practised incantation in the pre-Islamic days and we said
Allah's Messenger, what is your opinion about it? He said: Let me know your invocation and said: There is no harm in the invocation as long as there is no polytheism in it.
