The Ruling on Removing Sorcery with Sorcery

Question:
It is known that sorcery cannot be undone except by a sorcerer. Is this correct?

Answer:
That is not correct. A sorcerer may undo the sorcery, or it may be removed by someone other than the sorcerer. Sorcery may be undone by similar sorcery, where one serves the jinn and deals with the children of the jinn to remove the sorcery they have cast upon the victim. This is because they love for people to connect with them so that people will worship them. The jinn may do something to a person so that he engages in what pleases them, such as shirk (associating partners with Allah) and drawing near to them with what Allah has forbidden, such as sacrifices and other things, until they lift their sorcery and what was done for it. This is part of the work of sorcerers. It is not obligatory to accuse him or to ask him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a diviner or a soothsayer and believes in what he says has disbelieved in what was sent to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).” He also said: “He is not one of us who takes an omen, or who has an omen taken for him, or who performs divination, or who has divination performed for him, or who goes to a soothsayer and believes what he says.” He is not one of the awliya (close friends of Allah) of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes. If one goes to a diviner and asks him about something, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days. There is no power and no strength except with Allah. Now, it is not permissible for a believer to go to sorcerers, or soothsayers, or the Iraqis known for their ignorance regarding the unseen, or the compellers. It is forbidden to go to all of these people, it is forbidden to ask them, and it is forbidden to believe them. However, there is a second treatment for these matters other than sorcery, which is reciting over the person from the surahs. Perhaps Allah will benefit him through this and the sorcery will be removed.
There are other medicines that a sorcerer uses to remove what has befallen him. Among them are the known leaves of the sidr tree and the known nabq fruit. The scholars of this ummah (the Muslim community) in the past would take seven sidr leaves, grind them, and then recite over them the Verse of the Throne, the verses of sorcery that were revealed in the Noble Qur'an, Surat al-A'raf, Surat Ta-Ha, and Surat Yunus. Then they would recite “Say, O disbelievers,” “Say, He is Allah, the One,” and the known supplication: “O Allah, Lord of mankind, remove the harm from me, and there is no cure for the disbeliever.” Then they would grind it and mix it with water for the victim to drink, and he would submit to Allah. The questioner, perhaps the Islam will be in the first attempt, perhaps the Islam will be in the second attempt, perhaps the Islam will be in the third attempt. This has been tried many times, and Allah has benefited many people through it.
