The Ruling on Fear of Sorcerers and Worrying About Them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the fear of sorcerers and worrying about them, since some people are afraid that they will harm them or cast a spell on them, is this a deficiency in reliance upon Allah or not? And what is the treatment for that?

Answer:
She commits disbelief. This is a deficiency in tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and a deficiency in tawakkul (reliance upon Allah). It is obligatory for a person to fear Allah and to be afraid of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). He said:
then rely upon Allahفَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ
[Ali 'Imran 3:159]
, and whoever relies upon
So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him].اللَّهَ
[Ali 'Imran 3:159]
is entitled to [protection], so no one can harm him. If Allah takes him under His protection, He suffices him. So, rely upon Allah, have tawakkul in Allah, fear Allah, and be mindful of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and no one will harm you.
