1. What is the diagnosis of this case and what is its treatment? 2. Was the guidance I provided to that young man correct? 3. Is it permissible for a Sheikh who recites the Quran to touch the forehead of a non-mahram woman? 4. What should be recited over this woman? 5. Is it permissible for the Sheikh to take money in exchange for Ruqyah? 6. What is the ruling on someone who performs Ruqyah Ash-Shar'iyyah (Islamic exorcism) with the intention of financial gain?

Legal Ruqyah is permissible for both the afflicted and the un-afflicted. A person can perform it upon himself, or have one of his relatives or those known for their sound belief and adherence to the Sunnah perform it upon him. Furthermore, maintaining prayer, remembrances (adhkar), and seeking refuge (ta'awwudhat) fortifies the Muslim. The husband's repentance from abandoning prayer due to his wife's illness is not blameworthy if he is sincere to Allah, for calamities can be a mercy that reminds a servant of his Lord. Repentance from sins and returning to Allah removes affliction and brings healing. The fact that a person is a sinner does not prevent him from benefiting from the Qur'an. As for the ruqyah performer placing his hand on a non-mahram woman, this refers to a previous fatwa. It is permissible for the ruqyah performer to take payment for legal ruqyah and to make it his profession.
