There is no disagreement among the scholars concerning the permissibility of making Ruqyah (reading Qur'an and Prophetic supplications) to non-Muslims. The evidence for this is the narration of Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri
who said that they came during a journey to a tribe of Arabs, who refused to host them. But, the leader of the tribe was bitten by a snake; they (the tribesmen) came to the companions
and asked them to do Ruqyah for him. The companions refused to do so unless they paid them a wage for it. They agreed to give them a flock of sheep. The companions then made the Ruqyah and the leader of that tribe was cured. When they came to the Prophet Sallallaahu Alayhi wa Sallam, he said: "What you did is correct and make one share for me too." [Muslim]
The narration proves that making Ruqyah for a non-Muslim is allowed. As for the verse (interpretation of the meaning): {And We send down from the Qur'aan that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe (in Islaamic Monotheism and act on it), and it increases the polytheists (and wrong-doers) nothing but loss.}[17:82], it does not prevent making Ruqyah for non-Muslims. The meaning of this verse is as explained by Abu Qataadah,
if a Muslim listens to the Qur'an, he benefits from it while a disbeliever does not benefit from that. A believer is cured from doubts, hypocrisy, and other spiritual diseases while a disbeliever does not get such a cure.
