The answer

Seventy thousand will enter Paradise without reckoning due to the perfection of their monotheism and reliance on Allah. These are the ones who do not seek (exorcism/healing through prayer) from others, nor do they brand themselves with hot iron (cauterization), nor do they believe in omens. Seeking ruqyah from others is not forbidden, but it is contrary to what is most preferable and perfect. It is permissible when there is a need. A Muslim can perform ruqyah on themselves using the Qur’an and prophetic supplications.
