Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you, you mentioned in a previous lesson that watching the works of sorcerers on television or elsewhere is not permissible. But, may Allah preserve you, he says: When we sometimes travel to some countries, there are sorcerers in the streets who display their works and ask the attendees to have one of them step forward so that the sorcery is performed on him. So I step forward intending to nullify their sorcery, and I recite my prescribed supplications, and their sorcery is nullified. Is my action permissible?
Answer:
If it is as you say, that if you step forward and recite the Qur'an, his sorcery is nullified, that is good, that is good, yes, this is a refutation of him, yes.
