Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Honorable Shaykh, he says: A person is compelled to go to those who treat with the Qur'an. My brother went, and it turned out that the man was a fortune-teller and had no knowledge. What should he do to atone for his action and his going to those fortune-tellers?
Answer:
He made a mistake in this. He should not go to an unknown person. He should ask the people of knowledge, asking those who have knowledge of the ruqah practitioners, their beliefs, and their knowledge of ruqah. He should ask and not go to everyone who is said to be a ruqah practitioner and that he performs ruqah, lest he fall into what the questioner mentioned. Yes.
