Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I heard one of the sheikhs say that one of the treatments for sorcery is cupping, and I was unable to clarify more details about this topic. Is this statement correct? And how is that done?
Answer:
This is not correct. Cupping is not a treatment for sorcery, and I do not know of anyone who said this. Cupping is a treatment for a disease in the blood. As for sorcery, its treatment is through ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). Specifically, through lawful ruqyah: reciting the verses that nullify sorcery, and using the permissible, tested medicines with which sorcery is treated, as mentioned by Shaykh 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) in Fath al-Mujid, in the chapter on what has come regarding the removal of sorcery. You have read it and heard it.
