Summary
It is permissible for a Muslim to perform ruqyah on a non-Muslim, and the scholars do not differ on this. On a non-Muslim treating a Muslim, scholars differ: al-Shafi'i permits it while Imam Malik considers it disliked for People of the Book. The fatwa adopts the permissible view, provided the ruqyah uses the Quran and transmitted supplications. It must conform to Islamic law and contain nothing disrespectful to the Book of Allah, such as altering its meaning or pronunciation.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
hukum meruqyah orang bukan Islam adalah harus dan begitu juga harusnya untuk orang bukan Islam meruqyah orang Islam sekiranya menggunakan al-Quran dan juga zikir-zikir yang ma'thur.
