The Ruling on Treating People with the Qur'an Collectively

Question:
What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, regarding the method used by Shaykh Ali al-'Umrī, the imam of the Quba Mosque in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, which is treating people collectively with the Noble Qur'an? And is it permissible for any person to do what he does?

Answer:
We have no information except from what people say. He is a man with no harm in him, a person of good creed. He is religious at the university; he is a graduate of the university; he is one of the well-known students. He is a person of good creed, but he is active in treating those afflicted by sorcery and the insane. He has come to read over some people who are affected. We ask Allah to make him beneficial to them. As for the manner of his recitation now, and what he does now, that is known by those who visit him and know him. We ask Allah to help him and make him beneficial to them. Yes.
