Accepted Answer

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, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

There is no objection to going to a man who cures people with the Quran and the Prophetic supplications. However, if this man mixes non-Arabic words with the Quranic verses, this is a reason to suspect him. Scholars have stated that one of the conditions of the Sharee‘ah-approved Ruqyah (cure by means of Quran) is reciting it in Arabic.

Allaah Knows best.
