The ruling on a Ruqyah practitioner placing his hand on a non-mahram woman during Ruqyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a Ruqyah practitioner who performs Ruqyah on people and places his hand on the head of a sick woman who is covered?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a man who is not a mahram to her to touch her, whether her head, her hands, or anything else. He recites over her and blows without touching. Also, he must not be alone with her; he must be in the presence of someone whose presence removes the state of seclusion. Yes. She must be wearing hijab. Yes.
