The Ruqi’s Placing His Hand on a Woman’s Head During Ruqyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some ruqah practitioners, when performing ruqyah on a woman, place their hand on her head. Is this action permissible?

Answer:
It is not permissible. He does not touch her; he recites over her. He does not touch her, and she is also wearing a hijab. He does not get close to her.
