Breaking sorcery with similar sorcery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says that there is sorcery in his father, and he says that there is sorcery in our house as well. His question is: Is it permissible for me to break my father's sorcery with similar sorcery?

Answer:
No. It is not permissible to break sorcery with similar sorcery, because sorcery is forbidden, disbelief, and shirk (associating partners with Allah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
so treat yourselves medically, but use nothing unlawful.تداووا ولا تداووا بحرام
Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani)
And sorcery is the most severe of what is forbidden. This is not permissible. But Allah has made us independent of it through permissible medicines and the lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). So take the lawful, permissible means and do not despair of the mercy of Allah the Exalted. Yes, through ruqyah and lawful, permissible medicines.
Allah does not send down any disease, but He also sends down the cure for it.أنزل الله داء إلا أنزل له دواء
Sunan Ibn Majah 3438Sahih (Darussalam)
, he who knows it knows it, and he who does not know it does not know it
Allah did not make your cure in what He made Haram (unlawful) to you.إن الله لم يجعل شفاءكم فيما حرم عليكم
Bulugh al-Maram 10:50
