The ruling on watching those who claim to cure via satellite channels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says that he watches some channels where there are people who claim that they treat, and sometimes it is a doctor who says he knows most diseases, and he asks the patient for his name, and sometimes for his mother's name, and then he tells him, "You have such and such and such and such, and do such and such and such and such." Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is a sorcerer. Why does he ask about his mother? Also, ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) via satellite broadcast has no basis. Also, his telling him that you have such and such is from those who claim knowledge of the unseen. So this is a sorcerer, a fortune-teller, and a false messiah. It is not permissible to believe him or to ask him. Yes.
