The Sunnah is to do things in odd numbers. These ayahs are ruqya and it is beneficial to recite them on people who need help as the Quran is a source of healing.

Shaykh I’ve often read scholars mention that certain surahs and ayahs of the Quran should be recited 3 times, 5 times or 7 times for ruqyah My question is that what is the significance of reciting them in those numbers and is there evidence for this from the Sunnah or is it something scholars have recommended out their wisdom?

Is this dua meant only for ruqyah, and is this have to be readed during ruqyah? Dua: Allaahumma Rabba nas azhabil basa washfi antash shafi laa shifa illa shifauka shifallaah yugahdiru siqaman.

Shaykh you stated that Alhamdulillaah its OK to recite the ruqyah in the method I put forward, i.e al fatihah x7, ayatul kuris x7, ikhlas x7, falaq x7, nas x7, and prohetic dua x7. You further stated that I could add the last 2 verses al baqara, so my question is that do I recite these verses once or can I also recite theses two verses 7 times also like the rest of the surah and ayahs?
