Tahneek by a few pious people

Q:

1. Can a pious person chew on a date and then send it to the parents for tahneek to be made or would it be better to take the child to the pious person to make tahneek?

2. Can one get 2 or 3 pious people to make tahneek for the child?

A:

1. Both ways are permissible.

2. Yes.

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