Is it permissible to listen to the Islamic ruqyah (exorcism/healing recitation) from a radio or recorder? And would one benefit from listening to it in this manner while asleep? What are the verses and supplications for healing, and what is the best way to benefit from them?

It is permissible to listen to the legitimate ruqyah (Islamic incantation) from the radio or a recording, and it is hoped that there will be good in that. However, listening to a recorded tape does not substitute for the rāqī (healer performing ruqyah) reciting over the patient.
