The Ruling on Going to Sorcerers and Magicians

Question:
The questioner: Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. A woman says that we have a daughter who is two years old. While the girl was sleeping for three days, they found seven hairs and seven grains of sand under her bed. When they removed the bed and washed these items, the girl woke up, and she had been afflicted with an illness. So they took her to doctors, but it did not help. Then they took her to a man who claimed to be a righteous man who reads for people. He told her, "Bring the hair and place it on the coals. If the image of someone appears in it, then it is the image of the one who cast the spell on her. And if you hear a sound, then it contains the evil eye." When she did what he ordered, she said that the image of her maid, who used to work for her, appeared to her, and she also heard a sound. What is the ruling on this action? What is obligatory for the one who hears these reports? And what is our duty toward this man?

Answer:
This is an invalid action and invalid speech, and it is a Satanic act of sorcery and superstition; it is not permissible to engage in it.
This has become widespread now due to the increase of sorcerers, especially among the imported servants and workers from abroad. People have imported sorcerers who have occupied the people and corrupted the beliefs of the people, claiming to be doctors. And some were not imported, but they came through infiltration and began to practice superstition on people and deceive people, because they lived on these superstitions in their countries and brought them to our countries. It is necessary to warn against this and to denounce it, and it is not permissible to engage in it, nor is it permissible for a person to go to these sorcerers and false prophets and accept their words.
You have heard the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever goes to a fortune-teller (peace and blessings be upon him)."
These people practiced sorcery and lied. They are fortune-tellers, and it is not permissible for us to go to them. Whoever goes to them, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever goes to a diviner ." Going to them carries this warning. If one believes them, he has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This is a grave matter. One must stay away from these people and warn against them. It is obligatory for anyone who knows that one of them engages in these things to
