In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
There is a difference between ruqya and wazaaif. Ruqya refers to reading and blowing to cure oneself from sickness, black magic etc. In wazaaif there is no blowing.
The various wazaaif you refer to are tried and tested. It is permissible (mubah) to practice what is tried and tested. Reading such wazaaif is an expression of a person’s confidence in the surahs of the Quran. However, duas from the Quran and Ahadith are most effective.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
