Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, whenever they are struck by an illness, chest tightness, or something else, suspect that they are bewitched. This questioner asks, saying: Are there signs that a person is bewitched?
Answer:
Illnesses are numerous. Some people think that every illness is sorcery, or that they are struck by the evil eye, or something similar. This is not correct. Illnesses are numerous, so the Muslim should treat himself with permissible medicines and lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), while relying upon Allah the Exalted, having good opinion of Him, and keeping the issue of sorcery and the issue of the evil eye away from himself. Yes.
