Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. People are now appearing on satellite channels performing ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) over the television. Is this practice valid, and is it prescribed?
Answer:
No, it is not prescribed, and this is not ruqyah. This is playing with ruqyah via television and telephone, and performing ruqyah in a water tank, whether the tank is near or far, or in a water source. All of this is playing with ruqyah, using a microphone to address many people in a place. All of this is playing with ruqyah, adding to it, and taking it out of its lawful state. The common reality is that these people want people's money, so they have resorted to these false tricks.
