Is strangling by the ruqyah practitioner part of the ruqyah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. One of my brothers took my mother to a man to recite over her. He says: One of my brothers took my mother to a reciter or ruqyah practitioner to recite over her. After he finished reciting, he strangled her and then left her. Is strangling part of the ruqyah?

Answer:
No, strangling is torture. This is torture. But it seems he wants to do something, claiming that he knows the ruqyah and so on. The ruqyah does not involve strangling or beating. It involves reciting the Qur'an, blowing on the afflicted person, and making du'a' for him.
