Aslam

Praise be to Allah.Ruqyah for the sick must be

done directly, not via a loudspeaker or over the phone, because this

is contrary to the way the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), his companions (may Allaah

be pleased with them) and those who followed them in truth did ruqyah.

The Prophet (peace and blessings

of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever innovates something in this matter

of ours (i.e., Islam) that is not a part of it, will have it rejected.”

And Allaah knows best.

note: ruqyah i.e., reciting Qur’aan and du’aa’s over the sick for the

purpose of seeking healing]
