Listening to tapes on Ruqyah does not take the place of Ruqyah itself

Question:

Is listening to tapes on Ruqyah an innovation?

---

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 is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

There is much good in listening to tapes on Ruqyah, just like listening to other beneficial tapes, such as lectures, lessons on religious knowledge, and other lectures from which a Muslim benefits for his worldly life and Hereafter. This is not an innovation as a tape is one of the means of getting knowledge and education. However, listening to tapes on Ruqyah does not take the place of the Ruqyah itself nor is it sufficient.

Allaah Knows best.
