Diriwayatkan oleh Safiyyah (radiy-Allahu anha) from one of the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
مَنْ أَتَى عَرَّافًا فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَىْءٍ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلاَةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةًBarangsiapa mendatangi seorang peramal lalu menanyakan sesuatu kepadanya, maka salatnya tidak diterima selama empat puluh malam.
Dalam riwayat sahih yang lain, hukumnya meningkat: barangsiapa mempercayai apa yang dikatakan orang seperti itu, ia telah kafir terhadap apa yang diturunkan kepada Muhammad (ﷺ). Dua lapis bertumpuk: kunjungan itu sendiri, dan kepercayaan terhadap apa yang dikatakan.
Tanda-tanda peringatan yang harus dihafal setiap Muslim
Berikut adalah sepuluh pola yang berulang dalam kasus peruqyah palsu. Salah satu darinya saja sudah menjadi alasan untuk pergi; kombinasi dua atau lebih bersifat menentukan.
- Asks for your mother's name, your date of birth, your father's name, or other identifying details before he 'diagnoses' you.
Genuine ruqyah requires no personal information. Recitation works on whoever it is read upon; it does not depend on the patient's identity. Asking for these details is the signature of fortune-telling and divination, both of which the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade.
- Claims to see your jinn, name your sihr, or describe events from your past or future.
The unseen belongs to Allah alone. A raqi recites and prays; he does not diagnose hidden matters. Anyone who claims to see jinn or read your past is almost always relying on cold-reading, jinn whispers, or guesswork.
- Instructs you to do something against Islam: leave salah, drink an unclean substance, wear a written amulet, sleep on a grave, slaughter in the name of other than Allah.
A raqi whose 'cure' contradicts the Sharia is not a raqi - he is a magician using Islamic words for cover. Any instruction must be measured against the Qur'an and Sunnah, not against his charisma.
- Tells you not to tell your family, your scholar, or your doctor about the treatment.
Secrecy is a warning sign across every kind of abuse. Authentic ruqyah is recited openly, with witnesses, in the presence of one's family. Anyone insisting on isolation is preparing to exploit you.
- Demands a large up-front fee or insists the more you pay, the more powerful the cure.
Payment for time spent is permissible per the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Sahih al-Bukhari), but charging by the strength of the cure or demanding sums beyond a normal honorarium is exploitation, not religion.
- Promises a fixed-outcome healing within a specific number of sessions.
Healing is from Allah. No human being can promise the outcome. The Prophet (ﷺ) himself sought medicine and ruqyah without making such promises. A sales pitch that guarantees the result is a marketing tactic, not Islam.
- Insists on touching a female patient inappropriately, being alone with her in a closed room, or asking her to remove clothing.
Khalwah (a man and a non-mahram woman alone in private) is forbidden in the Sharia. Any 'spiritual' justification for it is false. Genuine ruqyah is recited from a distance with a mahram present.
- Uses eggs, salt, lemons, candles, blood, or other folk objects as part of the 'treatment'.
Authentic ruqyah is recitation of Qur'an, Allah's names, and authentic du'a. Any other object or ritual is innovation at best and shirk at worst, depending on whether the object is treated as having power in itself.
- Cites hadith that no one can verify, or stories about saints granting protection.
Every Sunnah-based claim must be traceable to a verified collection with a grading. Stories about saints granting protection invert tawheed - protection belongs to Allah alone.
- Claims to have 'Muslim jinn' helpers who do the work for him.
Even if some jinn embraced Islam (as the Qur'an mentions), seeking their help in unseen matters falls under shirk. 'And that there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they increased them in burden.' (Surah Al-Jinn 72:6)
Seperti apa peruqyah yang sah
- Membaca Al-Qur'an dengan suara, sering Surah Al-Fatihah, Ayat al-Kursi, dan Al-Mu'awwidzat.
- Memohon kesembuhan kepada Allah, bukan kepada jin.
- Tidak menyebut nama pengirim, tidak menggambarkan masa lalu Anda, tidak meramalkan masa depan Anda.
- Berbicara dengan hormat kepada Anda; mengharuskan kehadiran mahram jika Anda perempuan.
- Mendorong Anda menjaga salat, membaca Al-Qur'an sendiri, dan berdoa sendiri.
- Boleh menerima upah yang wajar atas waktunya, sebagaimana ditetapkan oleh Sahih al-Bukhari 2276; tidak menyesuaikan upah berdasarkan tingkat keparahan yang diklaim.
- Menyambut pengamatan dan tinjauan dari orang-orang berilmu lainnya.
Diriwayatkan oleh Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (radiy-Allahu anhu)
انْطَلَقَ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفْرَةٍ سَافَرُوهَا حَتَّى نَزَلُوا عَلَى حَىٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ فَاسْتَضَافُوهُمْ، فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يُضَيِّفُوهُمْ، فَلُدِغَ سَيِّدُ ذَلِكَ الْحَىِّ، فَسَعَوْا لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُهُ شَىْءٌDari mana engkau tahu bahwa Surah Al-Fatihah itu adalah ruqyah?
Jika Anda sudah terlanjur mendatangi peruqyah palsu
- Bertobatlah secara pribadi dan tulus. Allah menerima tobat orang yang kembali kepada-Nya.
- Jangan kembali. Meskipun Anda telah membayar di muka dan merasa terikat, kewajiban utama adalah kepada iman Anda sendiri.
- Perbarui tauhid Anda. Baca Surah Al-Fatihah dengan perlahan. Baca Surah Al-Ikhlas dengan perlahan. Baca Ayat al-Kursi. Resapi maknanya.
- Singkirkan apa pun yang berbentuk fisik yang mereka berikan: jimat, benang berbuhul, kertas bertulisan, minyak, air, garam. Buang tanpa upacara apa pun.
- Tunaikan salat tepat waktu. Kembalilah kepada Allah segera, dalam salat, tanpa menunda.
- Temui dokter jika ada gejala nyata yang menetap. Gangguan spiritual dan penyakit fisik bisa tumpang tindih; mengatasi keduanya adalah keseimbangan kenabian.
