The Ruling on Reciting Ruqyah, Talasim, and Pretending to Command Jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, does sorcery transfer from the one afflicted by it to the reciter? And is it permissible for anyone to recite?
Answer:
If he knows, if he knows the verses that are recited and adheres to them, and does not bring in nonsense from his own mind or things from his own mind, then some of the charlatans recite from books of talasim. We know some of them who recite from books of talasim and recite them over people. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah). Peace be upon you. It is permissible to recite only from the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), as Ibn al-Qayyim said. Ruqyah, seeking refuge, and supplications are recited, and these require knowledge and understanding. Not everyone from the common people or those beginning in the pursuit of knowledge should recite, because some of them assume that everything written is correct, and everything found in a book is correct. He says, "This is just a book." Some books are books of sorcery, some are books of misguidance and disbelief, and may Allah protect us from that. Is everything that is written and put on paper thereby correct?
Like what is mentioned in al-Suyuti's *Hayat al-Hayawan* (Life of Animals), the book *al-Rahmah* (Mercy), and al-Suyuti's *al-Hikmah* (Wisdom). These are all talasim and sorcery.
There is nothing in al-Shahrastani's *al-Milal wa al-Nihal* (Religions and Sects) regarding the major [errors] and atheism, and may Allah protect us from that. It is not permissible for a person to take from it and say, "I answer with a book." Also, from the book *Manhaj al-Muhtadi* (The Path of the Guided), it must be presented to the people of knowledge and insight. Yes. They. IM. If Allah wills.
This is pretense. This is pretense where he shows people that he knows how to summon the jinn. This is pretense; this speech is not permissible. If it is the Shaytan.
It is supposed that he does not get comfortable with the jinn, that you come and you are calm, and that your mother, your maternal uncle, and your grandfather are there. This is part of the pretense among people that he knows how to summon the jinn. This is for the sake of [gaining] some benefit. Some of them record on tapes, recording the speech of the jinn on tapes. This is all part of the pretense and the excess that is feared for the beliefs of people. Yes.
