Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for the ruqyah practitioner to perform ruqyah on a patient over the phone?
Answer:
We have answered this. We said it is not permissible. This is not ruqyah; this is nonsense. This is part of the nonsense. Ruqyah must be direct on the patient; one reads and blows on him, on his body, on the site of the affliction. As for doing it over the phone, and the person may be in a faraway country, this is nonsense. Yes, and this is deceiving people in order to take money from them. Yes.
