The Ruling on Seeking Treatment from Sorcerers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, Sa'id Muhammad from al-Qunfudhah asks: Is it permissible for anyone who is afflicted and whose recovery is difficult to go to someone he believes can cure him, even if that person is a sorcerer?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to seek treatment from sorcerers, it is not permissible to seek medical treatment from sorcerers, may Allah disgrace them. Rather, it is obligatory to prevent them, expel them, and eliminate them. It is not permissible for them to remain in the lands of the Muslims or among the Muslims. The sorcerer is a corrupter in the land, and he is threatened with the most severe warning. And He, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Taha 20:69] He will not succeed, so he is, may Allah protect us from that, deprived of success. Yes.
