Treatment of Hatred for One's Husband Due to Sorcery and the Evil Eye

Question:
This is a letter we received from the questioner, S. S., from Kuwait. The sister questioner says in her letter: I am a married woman of seventeen years, and I have six children. I have only lived five of these seventeen years in happiness; the rest of the time, I have come to hate my husband, and I do not like him to have marital relations with me, nor can I bear to sleep with him. I thought this was something of sorcery, so I went to the sorcerers and the shaykhs. They gave me some protective amulets, but I did not benefit from them, and I do not trust any of them. I went to the psychiatrists and did not benefit from them either. I want my husband and no one else, and my home is on the verge of collapse. What should I do? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
This is a temporary illness that may be due to sorcery, or it may be the evil eye, which people call the gaze or the breath, or it may be a disease that caused this condition. It is not permissible to visit sorcerers or fortune-tellers or ask them questions. So your going to the sorcerers and fortune-tellers is not permissible, and you have committed a sin in this, so you must repent to Allah for it. For the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , narrated by Muslim in his Sahih. And the diviner who claims to know matters through the jinn, through knowledge of the unseen, it is not permissible to ask him or believe him. He also said (peace and blessings be upon him): (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is not permissible to complete the transaction with fortune-tellers or sorcerers or ask them. However, it is possible that you can be treated by a doctor who may know about such matters with known medicines, such as injections or pills or otherwise, or by a reciter or a righteous woman who recites and blows over you. If you find a righteous woman who comes to the man and blows over you and recites for you, perhaps Allah will remove the evil eye or the sorcery through her. Likewise, a man who knows this can recite for you without seclusion, provided your mother or your brother or your father or someone like that is present, without seclusion, and perhaps Allah will benefit you through that.
It is also possible that he recites for you in water, reciting in it Surat al-Fatihah, the Verse of the Throne, and the known verses of sorcery in Surat al-A'raf, Surat Yunus, and Ta-Ha, and with , Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad, and the two Mu'awwidhat. All of this is recited in water, along with whatever is easy of supplication: In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. And the Healer, not you, the Healer who leaves no illness behind. In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. This is a prescribed treatment, by the permission of Allah, for sorcery and for preventing a man from his wife, and it is also a treatment for the evil eye, for the evil eye is treated by ruqyah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
These are causes by which Allah may benefit, and He may place seven leaves of green sorrel in the water, which are crushed and put in the water, and the aforementioned recitations are made over it. Allah may benefit through that as well. We have done this for many people, and Allah benefited them through it. The scholars have mentioned this, including the scholar and scholar of renown, Abdul-Rahman ibn Hasan, this shaykh who is the author of Fath al-Majid, an explanation of the Book of Tawhid. He mentioned this in the chapter on what has come regarding the repelling of evil. If you have the book, look into it, or present this to the scholars, and they will, if Allah wills, do what is necessary. As for the sorcerers, fortune-tellers, and diviners, do not ask them or believe them. But you must turn to the true scholars and the reciters known for good, so that they perform this recitation for you, or the righteous women, the teachers known for good, so that they perform this recitation for you. Perhaps Allah will grant healing and well-being through these causes. And what you should do is supplication, asking Allah the Exalted to remove from you what has befallen you. For Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, loves to be asked, and He is the One who said, Glorified and Exalted is He: , and He is the One who said, Mighty and Majestic: . So you must ask Allah for well-being and healing. And if you are answered in that, you must also ask Allah for healing and well-being for yourself. For the believer supplicates for his brother. Likewise, your father and your mother, both of them ask Allah for your well-being. So supplication is the weapon of the believer, and Allah the Exalted has promised to answer, so you must engage in supplication, strive in supplication, and be sincere in supplication, perhaps Allah will grant healing, Glorified and Exalted is He. And Allah knows best. May Allah bless you.
