What is the treatment for sorcery?

Question:
This dear questioner says: Peace be upon you, Honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you. What is your view, Honorable Shaykh, he says, regarding the treatment of sorcery? How is the treatment done? Is it by the Shari'ah ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation)? And how does a Muslim perform this ruqyah on himself?

Answer:
Yes, the treatment is done by two things: the Shari'ah ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and the permissible medicines that Allah has made a cure, for Allah the Exalted has not sent down a disease without sending down a cure for it, which He has made known to those He has given knowledge and kept hidden from those He has not, as mentioned in the hadith. The Shari'ah ruqyah is done with Qur'anic verses, with Prophetic hadiths, with prescribed supplications, and also with known medicines that contain no sorcery and no forbidden element, for Allah has not made your healing in what He has forbidden to you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
