The one afflicted with possession and his entry into the seventy thousand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We will refer you to the Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A man is afflicted with possession from sorcery, and his treatment with the ruqyah practitioner has not ended. Does he fall among those the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned, who are seventy thousand, of whom a thousand enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment?
Answer:
He hopes for that, but it is not written for him. This does not mean that it is written for him; rather, he satisfies himself. He satisfies himself. And if someone wants to satisfy him, he should not touch that matter; let him overlook it. The point is regarding the question: he asks for forgiveness. This is what was reported: that we were informed of our sufficiency from it. As for him forgiving himself, or someone coming to him and saying, “I want to be protected from it,” because he did not do it—this is a person, yes.
