Going to a woman who treats by knowing the mother's name
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father is suffering from a mental illness, and the period of his illness has been long. Some relatives suggested that we go to a woman, saying that she knows a cure for this type of illness. If you give her the mother's name, she will tell you what is wrong with your father and prescribe the treatment. He asks: Is it permissible to go to her?
Answer:
This is actually superstition. What is the connection between the mother and knowing the mother? This is a sick person who knows; he does not want his mother to ask about him, nor his father, nor his grandmother? This is superstition, yes.
