Does the one who is bewitched, or the one who did not go for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), fall among the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man is afflicted with possession through sihr (sorcery), and he did not go for treatment to the ruqyah practitioner. Does he fall among those mentioned by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), namely the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without a record or punishment?

Answer:
He hopes for that, but he does not abandon ruqyah. This does not mean that he abandons ruqyah; rather, he satisfies himself. And if someone wants to satisfy him, he does not refuse it, for he satisfies him. The issue with him is a question; he asks the one who prays. This is the one about whom it was reported that he informed him of being spared from the people of the Fire. As for if he bribes you, or if someone comes to him and says, "I want to pray," he refuses this, because he did not ask you. And this is ihsan (excellence in worship).
