Advice for one who has found barriers placed to prevent her and her sisters from marriage, and what is obligatory upon her

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : This is a questioner for the program who has coded her name with the letters F, S, and B. She says: Our problem, Honorable Shaykh, is that we are sisters who graduated from universities. We maintain, praise be to Allah, the prayers and fasting at their times, and we hold fast to the Shari'ah of Allah and the rulings of Islam. But the problem is that sorcery and barriers have been placed against us, and this sorcery is continuous, preventing us from marriage and preventing success in our work. Whenever a man proposes to us, the matter does not come to fruition. We have seen these barriers with our own eyes, and the words and symbols written on them, some of which are clear and some are not. We are in a state of confusion about our situation. We want an answer from your eminence on this. In another part of the question, she says: There are people who have suggested to us to bury pieces of gold to prevent the effect of the sorcery. What is your opinion, Shaykh Muhammad?

Answer : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
What the questioner mentioned about graduating with her sisters from the university, and that they were on a high level of righteousness, and then this incident happened to them, and she estimates it to be sorcery, this estimate may be wrong, or it may be one of the illusions that affect some people, or it may be the truth. However, I advise her and her sisters to increase in recitation. Either they recite it themselves, or they go to someone whose religion and knowledge are trusted to recite for them, so that this sorcery is removed, by the permission of Allah.
And if they have found what the sorcery was done with, they should burn it so that it is destroyed and lost, and thereby the sorcery is undone, if Allah wills.
As for what she mentioned about burying pieces of gold and that this prevents sorcery, this has no basis and no truth. Therefore, they should not do this, because a thing whose benefit has not been established by the Shari'ah, nor by sense and experience, is not permissible to rely upon.
