Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If there is a person who is under a spell, and it is feared that he will kill himself or kill someone else, is it permissible for him to go to the sorcerer to have the spell removed from him?

Answer:
No. If it is feared that he will kill himself or kill someone else, he is to be restrained and tied up. It is not permissible for him to go to the sorcerer to be treated. He is to be tied up, restrained, controlled, and treated with permissible treatment.
