Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is called collective ruqyah, which is that the ruqi recites for a group of people at the same time, is this prescribed?
Answer:
No. It is like the one who preaches in the mosque, the congregational mosque, standing while they are in front of him, blowing on them all. This has not been reported. Or by telephone, reciting for the patient over the telephone, or reciting into a white tank or water tank. All of this is for the sake of money, exaggerations for the sake of money. These matters are not permissible and are not part of ruqyah. This is a distortion of ruqyah, tarnishing the reputation of ruqyah.
