The Ruling on Listening to the Lawful Ruqyah from a Tape

Question:
To you, honorable scholar, he says: If singing affects the heart, or is not the wiping, or is not... If singing affects the heart, what is your guidance, honorable scholar, to the one who says that the lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is beneficial, even if it is heard from a tape?

Answer:
Singing in the lawful ruqyah; singing is forbidden and it is not permissible to listen to it. As for the lawful ruqyah, it is the recitation of the words of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and supplication for the sick person, a healing for the sick person by the permission of Allah. The act of ruqyah is an act; it is not sufficient from a tape; it must be performed, just as the adhan (the call to prayer) is not sufficient from a tape; it must be a mu'adhdhin (the one who calls to prayer), because the adhan is an act and the iqamah (the second call, immediately before prayer) is an act. Reciting the Qur'an is an act; it is not sufficient from a tape. But a person may listen to the tape in order to correct his recitation and learn the correct recitation; there is nothing wrong with that. As for him...
...considering it a ruqyah, considering that the tape is sufficient for the ruqyah, this is not so. The ruqyah is an act, and the act must be performed by a Muslim, and the tape is a machine; it does not fulfill the prescribed act of worship. Yes.
