Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is there a difference of opinion between collective Shari'ah ruqyah and individual ruqyah, and which of the two is the stronger position?
Answer:
Collective ruqyah, where one reads into a microphone or reads over the telephone, has not been transmitted. This is an excessive expansion that adds to what has not been transmitted. It is a form of extravagance, and it is not permissible. The greed that drives them to do this in order to take a lot of money is not permissible and is of no benefit. Rather, ruqyah is that one reads and blows directly onto the patient.
Or one reads into water and gives it to him to drink; this is Shari'ah ruqyah. As for ruqyah over the telephone or ruqyah with a loudspeaker for many people, there is no basis for it and it is of no benefit. Rather, the purpose of it is advertising and taking people's money. Yes.
