The ruling on claiming the presence of jinn and sorcery in wolf skin

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, some people claim that they have opened a new door. Is there a spirit, sorcery, the evil eye, or a disease in it? Some of them touch the Shaykh’s skin, always claiming that the side fears it. So when the skin is taken to the patient, the jinn speaks out of fear. They read the question, so what do you hear of this?

Answer:
This has become widespread among people now; this frightening and delaying has increased among people because of those who practice what they call folk treatment or ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). They tell the people who come to them that they have sorcery, that they have madness, and that so-and-so has done such-and-such to them, or that they have a spirit or the evil eye. So people are now in anxiety and fear of this agitation caused by these liars, deceptions, and fraudsters who want to eat people’s money by falsehood. This is not permissible, and it is not permissible to agitate people, frighten the patient, and threaten him with this severe threat. They say this to him in order to control him and make this patient submit to him, and to make him spend all the money he has. And in order for people to hear that so-and-so reveals the jinn, and so-and-so treats sorcery, and so-and-so does such-and-such, so the people who go to him increase. These are false matters. The origin of the Shari'ah ruqyah is that the one performing the ruqyah reads over the patient and the afflicted with the words of Allah the Exalted and with the permissible supplications, and does not reveal to the patient, saying “you have such-and-such” and “you have such-and-such,” or reveal these matters to his family. Rather, he keeps them secret, because this establishes a disease more severe than the first disease: a nervous disease, an imaginary disease. This is what has confused people now. So it is obligatory to prevent these people. Whoever among them is a citizen is to be disciplined severely and prevented from this thing. And whoever is not a citizen, coming from outside, it is obligatory that he be expelled from the country immediately, because they have confused people, corrupted people’s beliefs, spread superstitions and evils among people, and created imaginary diseases in people.
It is obligatory to be cautious of these people and to warn against them. And whoever knows that one of them practices this thing, he should report him at the earliest time. He should report him to the people of authority, the centers of the Commission, at the earliest time. He should report them to the Emirate at the earliest time, because there are now instructions being taken against these people. As for the wolf skin or a piece of the wolf, this is from the forbidden and lying to people.
Even the wolf itself, the live wolf, as some people do, they tie a wolf with them. This is all for the purpose of deceiving people, lying to people, and fraudulently eating people’s money by falsehood. It is not known from the Salaf (the earliest generations) or from the Muslims in this country, especially, and in the previous eras of the Muslims, that they treated with the wolf, or with a part of the wolf, or with wolf skin. This is not known. This is all from the lying and deception by which they deceive people. Perhaps the Shayatin (Satan) help them with these matters. And if people submit and become attached to the deceptions, Allah will empower them over them. But if they rely upon Allah the Exalted and hold fast to Allah,
and they make their religion sincere for Allah, and believe that what struck them was not to miss them, and what missed them was not to strike them, along with exerting the beneficial causes of the Shari'ah ruqyah and treatment with truth, which Allah has permitted with the permissible medicines, this is all fine. But this deception, this nonsense, and this exaggeration among these people, these have created many evils in people: diseases that are not real, but imaginary, in the company. Yes. Mm.
