Summary
The Perlis Fatwa Committee ruled that using ruqyah on a product for commercial purposes is prohibited, including for labelling, advertising and promotion. The reasons given are that the early righteous generations did not practise it, it may cause confusion and misuse of Allah's name for worldly gain, and it involves gharar in determining price and effectiveness. Ruqyah itself is established from the Prophet SAW, and taking payment for ruqyah that meets the conditions of Islamic law is permitted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
