Question:
Today, at one of the schools, the school hosted a trainer. This trainer performs some strange movements, including a man sleeping on nails, with a slab placed on top of him, which is then struck with a large hammer, and he is not harmed. When asked about this, he said that muscles become strong with exercise. Is this act permissible?
Answer:
This is a sorcerer. This is a sorcerer and sorcery. This is from sorcery and magic. This is not permissible. And it is obligatory that this man be seized and taken to the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice so that the necessary measures are taken against him. Let him play tricks on people and in schools. This is a sorcerer. This is from the magic of illusion and deception. This act is not permissible.
If I were to take a pin and stick it in him, he would not be able to endure it, but he is using tricks, or rather, he uses the jinn and Satan, and they interpose themselves between him and the objects. So he is a sorcerer and a false prophet, and it is not permissible to approve of this, and the one who brings him to the school has committed a sin. Yes.
