Question:
From his question, he says: Regarding a woman, Honorable Shaykh, if she is afflicted with a mental illness and a reciter is brought to recite over her, is it permissible for him to touch her hand and chest during the ruqyah?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a man to touch a woman who is not lawful for him, neither in ruqyah nor in anything else. It is not permissible for him to do that. He should recite over her without touching her, and she should be veiled, and in the presence of someone whose presence removes seclusion; he must not be alone with her. Yes.
