Aamils touching women

Q: Is it permissible for the Aamil (raaqi) to touch the woman for whom he is reciting ruqyah, even if she is with her mahram?

A: He must totally avoid touching. It is impermissible for the raaqi to touch. Even for him to look at her face is not permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
