Summary
Selling ruqyah-treated products is not permitted, whether the recitation is done orally or electronically. The National Fatwa Committee decided that using ruqyah on products for commercial purposes, including labelling, advertising and promotion, is not allowed. The prohibition is a preventive measure (sadd az-zarai') against deception, misuse of Quranic verses and harm to belief. Ruqyah itself is not denied in Islam as long as no shirk occurs.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Muzakarah juga bersetuju memutuskan supaya penggunaan ruqyah pada sesuatu produk untuk tujuan komersial tidak dibenarkan sama ada untuk tujuan pelabelan, pengiklanan atau promosi.
