Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for the reciter, O Shaykh, what are the places of a woman that he is permitted to touch? Does he have the right to touch the head or any other part?
The Shaykh : The one who recites over the sick?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not see him doing that. In any case, he does not place his hand on the site of pain in the case of a woman. As for a man, it is recommended that the man place his hand on the site of pain and say: “I seek refuge for you in the majesty and power of Allah from the evil you feel and fear, and the like of that which was reported in the Sunnah.” Yes, yes.
