Is it better for a man to perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on his wife, or for a ruqi (practitioner of ruqyah) to do it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: If my wife falls ill, should I take her to a ruqi who has experience, or should I perform ruqyah on her myself, knowing that I have no experience in this field?

Answer:
If the ruqi is known for his piety, soundness of belief, and that he performs ruqyah in the Shari'ah-prescribed manner, then you may take her to him. However, she must be covered, and the ruqi must not be alone with her; you should be present with her. Also, the ruqi must not touch her; he performs the ruqyah without touching or making physical contact with the woman.
