Is ruqyah from a tape permissible?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : Is ruqyah via a cassette tape permissible?
The Shaykh : Is ruqyah via what permissible?
The questioner : Is ruqyah via a cassette tape permissible?
The Shaykh : A cassette.
Abu Layla : A cassette, like a tape.
The Shaykh : Yes, a cassette. Is the adhan permissible? Is the iqamah permissible? If you are in doubt, you have received your answer; and if you know that it is not permissible, the answer is the same: it is not permissible. Therefore, I said on some occasions: We think, and Allah knows best, that if the report is true, the unified adhan is sometimes, at least, broadcast from a tape. If this report is true, I say I fear that a day will come when people pray behind a cassette!
