What is the ruling on using an injection of olive oil over which ruqyah has been recited into the vagina

Question: 282867

My mother has been bewitched, affecting her womb, and the raaqi (one who performs ruqyah) told her to use an injection of olive oil over which ruqyah has been recited into the vagina. Is that permissible? And is the inside of the private part najis (impure)?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

Firstly:

The inside of
the vagina is taahir (pure), because there is no evidence to suggest that it
is impure. Hence the more correct scholarly view is that whatever comes out
of it of secretions is to be regarded as pure, unless there is any evidence
to indicate that it is impure, such as menstrual blood. See fatwa no.
50404.

Secondly:

If the raaqi
recites Qur’an over water or olive oil, it is not regarded as having the
same sanctity as the Quran, because there is nothing in it of Quran; rather
it is just the traces of the dry spitting of the reciter.

Shaykh Ibn
‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked:

Is it
permissible for a menstruating woman to use water over which ruqyah has been
recited?

He (may Allah
have mercy on him) replied:

Yes; I do not
see anything wrong with that, because ruqyah water does not contain anything
of the writing of the Quran, and there is nothing in it that may be regarded
as containing Quran. Rather it is the saliva of the reciter that may have an
effect, by Allah’s leave.

End quote from
Fataawa Noor ‘ala ad-Darb (3/353-354)

Shaykh ‘Abdullah
ibn Jibreen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

It is
permissible for a woman who is menstruating or an individual who is junub to
drink water over which the raaqi has recited Qur’an and spat drily, because
only the traces of ruqyah remain in the water. As for whatever was recited
of Quran, it was transient and did not remain in that saliva that was
created. So if the person who is junub or the woman who is menstruating
needs to drink that water as a remedy, there is nothing wrong with that.

There is also no
reason why one should not apply to the private part, front or back, olive
oil or other kinds of oil over which Quran has been recited, because the
Quran recitation is transient and the oil is something created; all there is
in it is the traces of the recitation. End quote.

Based on that:

If the person
who recited ruqyah is trustworthy in terms of his religious commitment and
is known to be righteous, and is someone who has experience and knowledge of
ruqyah, then there is nothing wrong with what he said.

However, it
should be noted that the mother should pay attention to the known ruqyah as
prescribed in Islamic teaching, such as dhikr, protecting oneself with the
Mi‘wdhatayn and Soorat al-Baqarah, and so on.

And Allah knows
best.
