What are the guidelines for using ruqyah verses for medical treatment?

Summary

The Council of Ulama of the Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council issued guidelines on 11 December 2016. The recitation must be of complete, correct and well-ordered Quranic verses, or supplications of the Prophet SAW or others whose meaning is understood, and the water used must be clean and not dipped or soaked with items contrary to Islamic law, such as keris or iron believed to hold the power of jinn, sorcery and superstition. Ruqyah water may be prepared and distributed to make supply convenient for users, not for the purpose of trading Quranic verses for worldly gain, and any profit from sales must come from effort in good and lawful work. The recitation should be done by a qualified person, and providers and users must not believe that the water itself heals, since healing comes from Allah.
