Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, why do we not respond to those who say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was affected by sorcery because he did not recite the adhkar (remembrances) and medicines?
Answer:
Sorcery is an illness, my brother, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was afflicted with illness. The prophets fall ill, are killed, and are wounded; they are struck by wounds and illnesses, and what strikes humans strikes them. Sorcery is an illness, there is no doubt about it. It was the decree of Allah the Exalted that it struck him (peace and blessings be upon him); it was one of the illnesses. Jibril (peace be upon him) recited the ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for him, and Allah cured him of it. Yes.
