The first and second questions from Fatwa No. ( 18891 )
Q1, 2: What is the ruling on those among people who say that he descends into graves, lives with the buried, and conveys news from them ? And what is the ruling on those who come to our homes and say that they are sent by Ibn 'Alwan and other awliya (close friends of Allah) to remove snakes from our houses, and in fact, some people condition their entry by going naked, and they remove them?
A 1, 2: These actions are among the false and lying superstitions that must be denied, avoided, and the perpetrators punished, because they corrupt people's beliefs and mislead them. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
