Redflags—forus.
The public page tells people which healers to avoid. This one is the mirror: what we must never do. If you find yourself here, stop.
For raqis, and for those training under one. If you have never done ruqyah on another person, do not start alone — sit with someone experienced first. Ruqyah on yourself is always fine. Medical care comes first and continues alongside, always. Checklist & safety
Before you continue
These pages are for raqis, and for those training under one.
For raqis, and for those training under one. If you have never done ruqyah on another person, do not start alone — sit with someone experienced first. Ruqyah on yourself is always fine. Medical care comes first and continues alongside, always.
Charging for ruqyah
You may charge for your time in a scheduled consultation, and accept a gift freely given — never a price on ruqyah, never “the more you pay, the stronger it works”.
Talismans, amulets, papers to carry or bury
Nothing worn, hung, buried or burned. If your hand reaches for one, you have left ruqyah.
Asking the patient’s mother’s name, star sign, or for a personal item
These are the tools of the sorcerer, not the raqi.
Being alone with a woman, or asking her to remove hijab or clothing
Never. A maḥram present, always; recite over the clothes.
Words you cannot explain
Only the Quran, the Sunnah du‘ās, and Arabic or your language that both of you understand.
Telling a patient to stop medication, or to stop seeing doctors
This has killed people. Medicine first, ruqyah alongside.
Diagnosing sihr or jinn in every case, or before you have heard the patient
Most illness is medical. Listen first; be slow to name a cause.
Boasting, secrecy, or “only I can do this”
Only Allah cures. Anyone can recite. Teach the patient self-ruqyah on the first day.
Bargaining with a jinnī, or asking it about the future
You recite over it. You do not make deals, and you do not believe what it says about what is to come.
Striking the patient
Beating “to hurt the jinn” hurts the patient. It is not ruqyah.
