The Legislated Ruqyah Between Revelation and Implementation

This book by Shaykh Falah ibn Ismail Mandakar sets out the Islamic legal foundations of ruqyah, the practice of spiritual healing through Qur'anic recitation and prophetic supplications. It distinguishes the legislated method, rooted in the Qur'an and authentic hadith, from folk practices and innovations that have become attached to ruqyah in popular culture. The author covers the conditions and etiquette of performing ruqyah, common mistakes, and how the practice should be applied in contemporary settings such as treating the evil eye, envy, and other spiritual afflictions. It is intended for readers seeking a concise, evidence-based reference on Islamic spiritual healing rather than a general work on Islamic medicine.
