The Ruling on Ruqyah via Telephone, Mobile Phone, and Satellite Channels

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: On one of the satellite channels, there is someone who performs legitimate ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), and he is from outside this country. He says: May Allah reward you. On one of the satellite channels, there is someone who performs legitimate ruqyah, yes, and he is from outside this country. He allocates a period for recitations for the evil eye, another for jinn, another for envy, and so on. What is your honorable opinion on that?

Answer:
This is playing with ruqyah. Ruqyah is to be done directly on the patient in his presence, not by a person who is far away in distance. This is playing with ruqyah and taking it out of its proper context. And you know that nowadays, unfortunately, there is a lot of playing with it, and there are many mercenaries who take people's money and perform ruqyah by telephone, by mobile phone, and by satellite station. All of this is messing with ruqyah. Yes.
