A man was subjected to the most severe form of sorcery, and he was unable to have it removed by any means. Is it permissible for him to go to a sorcerer?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man was subjected to the most severe form of sorcery, and he was unable to have it removed by any means. Is it permissible for him to go to a sorcerer to have the sorcery removed?

Answer:
Your statement that he was unable to have it removed by any means is incorrect. There are means, praise be to Allah, for removing sorcery, such as the prescribed ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and permissible medicinal treatments. Allah did not send down a disease without sending down a cure for it. Some people know it, and some do not. So sorcery has a cure. However, this depends on faith. The strength of one's creed. If you doubt that this will be of benefit or that it will benefit you, but if you are certain in Allah, have good opinion of Allah, and seek treatment through ruqyah and dhikr (the remembrance of Allah), then Allah will benefit you through this. It comes back to the strength of faith or the weakness of faith. Yes.
