Ruqyah – Remedies and Treatments in Islam – Abd al-Aziz ibn Abdillah ibn Baz [French]

Ruqyah – Remedies and Treatments in Islam is a scholarly work by Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn ‘Abdillah ibn Baz dedicated to the study of spiritual healing in light of authentic Islamic legislation. It clearly distinguishes between legislated ruqyah and practices that are prohibited or innovated. The author therefore addresses a widespread issue among Muslims: seeking spiritual remedies for healing.

From the outset, the book defines ruqyah and clarifies its religious ruling. It outlines the conditions for its validity. Ruqyah is permissible when it is based on authentic texts from the Qur’an and the Sunnah, expressed in lawful terms, and free from anything that contradicts pure monotheism. Consequently, the author establishes the scriptural foundations of legitimate ruqyah through textual evidence and the practice of the righteous predecessors.

A substantial part of the work is devoted to distinguishing between ruqyah in accordance with revelation, ruqyah tainted by polytheistic elements, and innovated forms. The author warns against ambiguous formulas and unlawful invocations. He also highlights the dangers of superstition and occult practices. Resorting to fortune-tellers, sorcerers, or hidden methods undermines the purity of monotheism.

However, the book goes beyond criticism of deviations. It provides a protective framework grounded in clear principles. The general rules to be observed are explained for both the practitioner and the recipient of ruqyah. This structured approach helps prevent excess, confusion, and blameworthy innovations.

Thus, Ruqyah – Remedies and Treatments in Islam constitutes a reliable reference in the field of ruqyah and spiritual healing in Islam. It offers readers a structured and accessible understanding of the rules governing spiritual remedies. For further reflection on preventive measures, one may also consult 10 Means to Protect Oneself from Sorcery, the Evil Eye and Envy.

In conclusion, this book is intended for anyone wishing to understand the authentic regulations governing ruqyah. It helps preserve pure monotheism and avoid reprehensible practices, while remaining firmly rooted in the foundational sources of Islam.
