The Ruling on Ruqyah (Healing by Qur'anic Recitation) via Telephone or Satellite Channels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for a sick or sorcery-affected person via telephone, or via satellite channels, is this a prescribed matter? And is it effective?
Answer:
It is neither prescribed nor effective. This is playing with ruqyah. Ruqyah must be direct, upon the afflicted person directly; one reads and blows upon him directly. As for ruqyah in the air, where one performs ruqyah in the East via telephone or via media, this is all of the category of boasting and lying. Yes.
