Mullas are notorious for discouraging Muslims from knowing the foreign. They'll just call the research shirk. They know how to create a situation to keep the average sectarians away from knowledge. Just look at how Quran followers are treated on sectarian sites. They have been doing the same about ruqya. But do remember this verse:
And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned.17:36Truth is that ruqya is pretty much a pagan thing. Majority of the things used in the ritual are still very much part of the wicca even today. We will look into that shortly. But first let's look at how these hadiths are never mentioned by those who misguide people about ruqya.
Malik :: Book 50 : Hadith 50.4.11
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman that Abu Bakr as-Siddiq visited A'isha while she had a [health] complaint and a jewish woman was making incantation (ruqya) for her. Abu Bakr said, "Do it (incantation) with the Book of Allah."
“I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say, ‘Spells (ruqyah), amulets and love-charms are shirk.” I said, “Why do you say this? By Allaah, my eye was weeping with a discharge and I kept going to So and so, the Jew, who did a spell for me. When he did the spell, it calmed down.” ‘Abd-Allaah said: “That was just the work of the Shaytaan who was picking it with his hand, and when (the Jew) uttered the spell, he stopped. All you needed to do was to say as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say: ‘Adhhib il-ba’s Rabb al-naas ishfi anta al-Shaafi laa shifaa’a illa shifaa’uka shifaa’an laa yughaadiru saqaman (Remove the harm, O Lord of mankind, and heal, You are the Healer. There is no healing but Your healing, a healing which leaves no disease behind.’
(Narrated by Abu Dawood, 3883; Ibn Maajah, 3530) This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 331 and 2972.
Auf b. Malik Ashja'i reported We practiced incantation in the pre-Islamic days and we said: Allah's Messenger. what is your opinion about it? He said: Let me know your incantation and said: There is no harm in the incantation which does not smack of polytheism.
We reject hadiths. But here they are mentioned just to show you how they are satanic. Notice that the first one is saying that ruqya can be done using Allah's Book which happens to be the Quran. Without a doubt, Surahs are highly powerful and they continue to work for the good heart. The next hadith says it is shirk and that just telling Allah to heal is enough. But then why use olive oil, blowing in the bottle, incense sticks, senna leaves and so on? Of course, there is a reason behind this. To understand why, read the hadith given below.
Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.2:186
Yes, it is that simple and it should be crystal clear to the Prophet who received the revelations and followed it.
According to wicca, there are all sorts of spells out there and they require different recipes. Yet if you go over the ingredients of rukya you will see that they are all essential to wicca rituals. Here is a little intro about it.
Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
That is because these people will enter Paradise without being called to account because of the perfection of their Tawheed, therefore he described them as people who did not ask others to perform ruqyah for them. Hence he said “and they put their trust in their Lord.” Because of their complete trust in their Lord, their contentment with Him, their faith in Him, their being pleased with Him and their seeking their needs from Him, they do not ask people for anything, be it ruqyah or anything else, and they are not influenced by omens and superstitions that could prevent them from doing what they want to do, because superstition detracts from and weakens Tawheed.Do you see how hadith writers are admitting that ruqya is equal to not trusting Allah? Why? Because ruqya asks its user to seek help from other sources and they happen to be directly associated with wicca. As you saw above, ruquya generally means spell. The hadith they made up about Prophet Muhammad giving permission to others about ruqya should explain why we reject hadiths. People like us who follow just the Quran know that that is a big lie attributed to him. Quran clears up who God is. He is powerful, but frequently responds to a humble mind. That's why he tells us to be humble so many times in the Quran. It is not all about being a reward of the afterlife. Allah is not joking in this verse:
And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.2:186

Leaves from the Spiritual Spells Book of Shadows
Spiritual Oils, whether they be hand-crafted herbal oils, ritual oils, condition oils, aromatherapy oils, or just pretty-smelling essential oils, are one of the largest and most varied of the ceremonial tools used in Witchcraft and Paganism. They come in all sorts of flavors, colors, and kinds and it can often seem a daunting task to know which oil to pick and how to use it in casting a spell.
Witchcraft and Paganism is full of ceremonies, rituals and events celebrating times of change on the wheel of the year, changes in our lives, as well as specific working rituals. These rites and rituals more than often use specific items and tools such as candles, magical herbs, spiritual incense, and, of course, oils. All of these types of tools possess symbolic aspects that enhance the event or the desired results sought in the magical spell or ritual ceremony. Spiritual Oils are associated with the hidden fifth element of Spirit and help us reach out into the unseen ether and summon from it the forces we wish to communicate with or use in our rites and rituals.
Now let's see the ingredients of ruqya and how they are connected to witchcraft/spells of wicca.
1. For Senna leaves this is what the blogger wrote:
"When it starts to boil, reduce the fire and pour 1 spoon of leaves in the pan. Leave it so 10 minutes then drink it. After drinking it, do not drink or ear for 20 minutes so that the leaves can have its effects."
What wicca says:Senna: "Use for all matters of lust and love. Enhances tact & diplomacy."
My comment: Note that daily taking of senna leaves makes one addicted to it. But do notice that the leaves have "magical" purpose in wicca.
2. The blogger about Olive oil:
"The oil: Rub the painful parts of your body with the oil while reciting the Fatiha."
My comment: Allah does not require the smell of oil to do his job. Only those who never come to know who Allah is will fall for this scam. Sure olive oil is good for skin and massage, but it is dumb to think it will enter the body to do its healing stuff. In wicca, however, it is believed to provide "blessing". See below:
What wicca says:
a. "Athene Oil
a. "Athene Oil
The olive is sacred to Athene, so use pure olive oil as an anointing oil in particular, rub between the palms of your hands and anoint your feet, forehead and lips."
b. Once again from Spiritual Spells Book of Shadows: "Olive Oil has an ancient history of being used as a Carrier Oil and is often seen used in oils meant to help in blessing and anointing".
c. FINGER PAINTING SEX MAGIC
You will need your lover, one ounce of olive oil, nine drops of vanilla scented oil, and three drops of jasmine-scented oil.
Just before you make love, take a warm bath with your beloved. Decide what you both want to direct your sexual and orgasmic energy toward. Keep it simple and be specific. Next, mix the oils together, and paint words of endearment on your lover’s naked skin. Finger-paint one word on your lover’s skin, then ask your lover to paint a word of love on your skin. After you paint each word, use your fingers and your imagination to rub the oil gently and sensuously into your lover’s skin. See how many words you spell before you fall passionately into the throws of lovemaking. Direct your lovemaking energies toward a shared goal or dream.

3. The blogger about Incense sticks:
Wear a jellaba with no underwear, burn the tip on the incense cone, put it on the floor and stand over it so that the smoke is trapped under the jellaba. Remain so until the incense cone burns away.
My comment: According to cultural anthropology, similar step was done by ancient Indian concubines before their nightly tasks.
What wicca says:
"Incense has smoldered on magicians' altars for at least 5,000 years. It was burned in antiquity to mask the odors of sacrificial animals, to carry prayers to the Gods, and to create a pleasing environment for humans to meet with Deity.
Today, when the age of animal sacrifices among most Western magicians is long past, the reasons for incense use are varied. It is burned during magic to promote ritual consciousness, the state of mind necessary to rouse and direct personal energy. This is also achieved through the use of magical tools, by standing before the candle-bewitched altar, and by intoning chants and symbolic words."
4. The blogger about water and bottle:
Blessing the water is easy. Put one hand over the water, and repeat the following prayer to the God and Goddess:
Divine Father, Mother Goddess,
Purify this water with your Divine powers,
Bless it with your light.
You can also add a little bit of salt to the water while blessing it – salt is good for purification of any object. Or you might want to insert a pentacle, or a blessed athame inside the chalice of water. Although the blessed water is often just placed on the altar in a chalice or cup to represent the water element, it can have many other uses. You can use blessed water to prepare potions, to purify objects before enchanting them. Blessed water is also a good tool for protection against demons and negative entities. As a sign of respect for the God and Goddess invoked to bless the water, don’t throw the blessed water down the drain when you need to replace it. Instead, use it as an offering at the foot of a tree, or to water an indoor plant.
5. Saffron ink for writing the Surahs (refer to #4):
My comment: Saffron ink goes by the title of butterfly ink in wicca.
What wicca says:
Use the Magical Butterfly Ink:
* Spells of Summoning Spirits, Elves, Fairies and Elementals (especially of Air)
* Invocations of Higher Forces, God(s) / Goddess(es), Angels!
* To inscribe sigils and symbols on your Talismans and Charms!
* In Love Spells
* In Air Magic Spells
This is what the ruqya blogger wrote about witchcraft:

4. The blogger about water and bottle:
Then you write these verses with delible ink (ink slates Koran or the rosewater or orange flower with food coloring or saffron) on a sheet preferably transparent. You need a traditional reed pen, ink or modern, at worst you can use a toothpick. You will dilute this sheet in its water treatment: if it is a container of 20l, just dip the paper into the container and let the processing time, if they are bottles of 1.5 liters, it will clear all bottles in a large bowl and leave at least one hour with the sheet until the majority of the ink is diluted. In this case, you can also write on a tablet or a plate because it will be easier to concentrate. For those who have trouble writing, you can trace the verses by placing the transparent sheet on top of the sheet with the verses. For dilution of the verses, they are written without dots, without vowels, as was the writing and the time of the Prophet, prayer and peace upon him, and the vowel points were added later. Once verses diluted in water, the washing is done in exactly the same way as for witchcraft in the general case.According to sectarians, here the saliva is at work.
If a person blows with saliva after reciting Qur’aan, such as al-Faatihah – which is a kind of ruqyah and is the greatest kind of ruqyah that may be recited over a sick person – so he recites al-Faatihah then blows into the water – there is nothing wrong with this.What wicca says:

The symbolic witchcraft
Witchcraft often use symbols. It takes an object that symbolizes the patient: his hair, his photo, writing a habit, not a trace of her, his writing, even a handkerchief or towel he used or sanitary napkins for women . Then he will recite incantations over by various things such as knots, close a lock, throw a doll mix of products, etc.. Then it will often try to put it in an inaccessible location or repugnant and representing something negative, such as the cemetery, in a well, in a body of water, sewer, etc..
My comment: So basically to fight witchcraft you need to perform witchcraft? Why not just ask Allah for help and choose the path of the righteous?
