The ruling on going to sorcerers and magicians for treatment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah has informed you. And with them is a hidden matter. So he brought it to the road. Then he looks at the obedience. So nothing was apparent in it regarding the skin. But after that, he started going to what concerns it and others. He thinks about the table. Is this it? And on the table. He wants a decisive idea.

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to go to magicians and sorcerers and believe them in that, because this is disbelief in Allah the Exalted. Whoever goes to a fortune-teller or a diviner and believes what he says,
then he has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad.فقد كفر بما أنزل على محمد
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 135Hasan (Darussalam)
(peace and blessings be upon him). Dire necessity does not permit disbelief, nor does it permit associating partners with Allah. This matter is not permissible. So he must rely on Allah and be treated by permissible means. If Allah makes healing easy, praise be to Allah. If healing is not made easy, he is content, because he has replaced the cause with the causes, and praise be to Allah. He relies on Allah the Exalted and does not resort to forbidden treatment, but rather to associating partners with Allah the Exalted, and going to sorcerers, magicians, and fortune-tellers. This is a matter that is not permissible. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
