Scripture is the most respected thing there is but many of the scum of the earth and low lives use it to deceive and defraud people, I remember about a Roohani Baba arrested for raping several young girls, They prey on the feeble minded, I don’t remember reading about exorcisms performed by the Prophet(SWA). It is considered a BID’AH by many Muslims,

Alright, but then there are also plenty of stories of sports coaches and teachers who also get busted for abusing those under them. So people in a position of authority do the same thing in multiple fields. I’d also say that the people who are MOST prone to falling in the traps of frauds when it comes to anything religious are those who don’t practice the basics of deen themselves and they just want a quick solution to their problems and find these types first since they’ll be easier to find for most people. That doesn’t mean that everyone else is also a fraud.

As far as ruqya goes, it was practiced in the time of Nabi (SAW) and they were permitted to do it as long as it didn’t involve any shirk. So the ruqya as described by Ruqyah Lahore falls into that…they use recitation of the Qur’an to treat people in a manner that doesn’t involve any shirk. Not only were they permitted to practice it by Nabi (SAW), but they were also permitted to take payment for treating people.
