Is ritual purity required for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)?

Question:
Is it permissible for the one performing ruqyah to recite over a woman who is not in a state of ritual purity? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, there is nothing wrong with the one performing ruqyah reciting over a person who is not in a state of ritual purity; that is, the one being treated and the one over whom the recitation is performed are not in a state of purity. This is permissible. Praise be to Allah.
The condition for the one performing ruqyah, if he is reciting something from the Qur'an, is that he must be pure from major ritual impurity. He must be pure from major ritual impurity; he must not recite the Qur'an or anything from it while in a state of major ritual impurity. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to teach his Companions the Qur'an as long as they were not in a state of major ritual impurity. Half a step.
Nothing other than major ritual impurity prevented him (peace and blessings be upon him) from reciting the Qur'an, as in the hadith: As for supplications from the prescribed ones other than the Qur'an, ritual purity is not required, neither major nor minor, for these. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He reward you.
