Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am residing in this country, and my son is ill in our home country. Is it permissible for me to perform ruqyah on him via mobile phone?
Answer:
No, that does not work. Ruqyah must be performed directly on the patient; it is recited and blown upon him directly. However, you may make du'a' (supplication) for him from a distance, asking Allah for his healing and well-being, for Allah is near and responsive. Yes.
