The Ruling on Healing with Recorded Ruqyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Healing through ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) via cassette tapes has become widespread now. What is your opinion on that?

Answer:
It is not acceptable. What is not acceptable is what is not direct. It is not acceptable. The reality of ruqyah is that the reciter reads and blows on the afflicted person. The reciter reads from the words of Allah and blows on the afflicted person. The cassette blows on the afflicted person. No, this is recorded. Perhaps the one who recited has been dead for a long time. It is just a voice. It is not what is desired. Ruqyah is an act. It requires an act that is present, a living act that exists.
