Therefore, it is not permissible to treat sorcery with sorcery; rather, it is treated with permissible medicines, prescribed dhikr, the morning and evening adhkar, and the Shari'ah-compliant ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). By doing so, it will be removed, with the permission of Allah, provided one places reliance upon Allah. Yes.
