It is permissible for a Muslim to perform Ruqyah on themselves, and this is preferable. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to perform Ruqyah on himself. He would recite the Mu'awwidhat upon himself and blow (gently). There is no harm in the duration of the Ruqyah, nor in listening to a recorded Ruqyah, or in reciting along with a recorded recitation. However, merely listening to a recorded Ruqyah or one from the radio is not sufficient as a substitute for Ruqyah.
