Is it permissible to neglect da’wah in order to do this deed? How should those who are affected by evil whispers from the jinn be treated? Is it permissible to accept payment for this reading?.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him)
was asked this question and he said:
Calling people to Allaah (da’wah) is a communal obligation
(fard kafaayah); if sufficient people undertake to do it, the rest are then
absolved of the obligation. If a person finds that he has to do it and no
one else can take his place, then it takes priority over reading Qur’aan
over one who is affected by the jinn. That is because the results of da’wah
are certain whereas the results of reading Qur’aan over one who is affected
by the jinn may not be certain. How many people have had Qur’aan recited
over them and have not benefited.
So if this man realizes that he has to do da’wah and no one
else can take his place, then he must do da’wah even if that means he does
not recite Qur’aan over one who is affected the jinn.
But if it is the matter of fard kafaayah, then you should
look and decide what is in people’s best interests. If it is possible to
combine the two – which seems to be the case – by devoting a day for one and
day for the other whilst continuing to engage in da’wah, that is better, so
that he may benefit his Muslim brothers who are suffering from this
affliction and so that the work of calling people to Allaah may continue at
the same time.
With regard to the correct treatment of those who are
affected by the jinn, that varies from one case to another, but the best is
to recite Qur’aan over the person, such as the words (interpretation of the
meaning):
“O assembly of jinn and men! If you have power to pass
beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But
you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allaah)!
Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both
(jinn and men) deny?
There will be sent against you both, smokeless flames of
fire and (molten) brass, and you will not be able to defend yourselves.
Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both
(jinn and men) deny?”
[al-Rahmaan 55:33-36]
Because this reminds them [the jinn] that they cannot flee
from Allaah. You should also recite al-Mi’wadhatayn [the last two
Soorahs of the Qur’aan] and Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad [al-Ikhlaas 112]
and Aayat al-Kursiy [al-Baqarah 2:255]. You may also preach to them
as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah used to do, telling them, “It is haraam for
you to harm the Muslims or to beat them,” etc.
With regard to accepting payment for that: if he does not
take money that is better, but if he takes it without stipulating payment
beforehand that is acceptable. If those for whom he is reading do not carry
out their duties towards the reader and he insists that he will only read
for them if he is given something in return, there is nothing wrong with
that, as this is what the people of the raiding party sent out by the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did. It was
narrated that Abu Sa’eed (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “A group of
the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) set out on a journey and traveled until they stopped in (the land of)
one of the Arab tribes. They asked them for hospitality but they refused to
welcome them. The chief of that tribe was stung by a scorpion and they tried
everything but nothing helped them. Some of them said, ‘Why don’t you go to
those people who are camped (near us), maybe you will find something with
them.’ So they went to them and said, ‘O people, our chief has been stung by
a scorpion and we have tried everything but nothing helped him. Can any of
you do anything?’ One of them said, ‘Yes, by Allaah, I will recite ruqyah
for him, but by Allaah we asked you for hospitality and you did not welcome
us, so I will not recite ruqyah for you until you give us something in
return.’ Then they agreed upon a flock of sheep.’ Then he went and spat
drily and recited over him Al-hamdu Lillaahi Rabb
il-‘Aalameen [Soorat al-Faatihah]. (The chief) got
up as if he was released from a chain and started walking, and there were no
signs of sickness on him. They paid them what they agreed to pay. Some of
them (i.e. the companions) then suggested to divide their earnings among
themselves, but the one who performed the ruqyah said, ‘Do not divide them
until we go to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
and tell him what happened, then wait and see what he tells us to do.’ So
they went to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) and told him what had happened. The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked, ‘How did you know that it
(al-Faatihah) is a ruqyah?’ Then he added, ‘You have done the right thing.
Share out (the flock of sheep) and give me a share too.’ And the Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) smiled.”
