Conditions for a Woman Going to a Ruqyah Practitioner

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sister who is asking says: My sister was afflicted with possession. Do we have the right to take her to a ruqyah practitioner? And is it permissible for him to touch her hands and blow on her chest?

Answer:
If you know a ruqyah practitioner who is trustworthy, possesses knowledge, and holds a correct creed, and these conditions are met in him—his creed is correct, he knows the rulings of ruqyah, and he is also trustworthy such that you do not fear he will be tempted by her or be alone with her—then there is no harm in that. This is part of taking the means. It is not permissible for the ruqyah practitioner to touch the woman or place his hand on her; rather, he performs the ruqyah over her without touching her or her body. Yes.
