[Machine] We used to practice Ruqyah (incantation for healing) during the time of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic period of ignorance), so we asked the Messenger of Allah, "What do you say about this?" He replied, "Present your Ruqyah to me, there is no harm in Ruqyah as long as it does not involve any Shirk (associating partners with Allah)."

كُنَّا نَرْقِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ اعْرِضُوا عَلَيَّ رُقَاكُمْ لَا بَأْسَ بِالرُّقَى مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ شِرْكٌ

We used to do ruqyah (healing) in the time of jahiliyyah. We asked, O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about it? He said: Let me know your ruqyah (healing) and said: There is no harm in the ruqyah which does not contain any shirk.
