What is the ruling on filming ruqyah sessions for men and women and publishing them, and what are the reliable books that address the topic of ruqyah and magic?
Firstly: It is not permissible to video record sessions for men or women due to the harms that result from it, such as violating the patient's privacy. Video recording is even more egregious in the case of women, as it involves the exposure of awrah (private parts). The patient's consent to the recording should not be given any consideration, as it might be given under the pressure of needing treatment.
Secondly: There are useful books on the topic of Ruqyah and treating magic, including: "Al-Ruqyah Al-Shar'iyyah" by Khalid Al-Juraisee, "Al- 'Ilaj bi al-Ruqa min al-Kitab wa al-" by Saeed Al-Qahtani, and "Al-Ruqyah Al-Shar'iyyah min al-Kitab wa al-Sunnah" by Ali Al-Faqihi.
