Protection from sorcery and keeping away from sorcerers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says to me: A group of relatives are involved in sorcery, and I and my family have been harmed by them. I have kept my distance from them for fear that they will harm me, because they take a path of revenge against me. What are the verses and recitations that will protect me from them? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
It is not enough that you keep your distance from them for fear of being affected; this is not sufficient. Rather, you should keep your distance from them because of the corruption of their belief, so that they do not influence your belief, and so that you do not accept what is wrong. This is wrong, and this is disbelief. Sorcery is disbelief. Learning it, teaching it, practicing it, and working with it is all disbelief in Allah the Exalted. So, keep your distance from them if they do not accept advice and abandon sorcery, and if you do not find anyone from the authorities to take hold of them and stop them. It is obligatory for you to keep your distance from them so that you may save yourself and be safe in your belief. As for what is recited to ward off sorcery, the entire Qur'an is sufficient, especially Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat (the last two chapters of the Qur'an). Recite these chapters and read them in the morning and in the evening along with your regular recitations. Increase your supplication and seeking refuge in Allah from sorcerers, from Shaytan, from those who cast the evil eye, and from those who envy. Yes.
