Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, the questioner says: Is it permissible for a man who recites the Qur'an over the sick to touch the body of a sick woman with his hand? Please guide us in this matter. May Allah bless you.
Answer:
He has no right to touch the woman; because she is 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), but he recites without touching. He can recite without touching. He recites over the place where the pain is without the need for touching. Yes.
