Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came to the program, Shaykh, is this: What is the ruling on one who went to one of the Quran healers, and then it became clear that this healer practices sorcery and deception, and he did not know that? Does he have an expiation?
Answer:
This is a matter of distinction. If he asked the people of knowledge and those with experience regarding this person in order for them to inform him of his true nature, and he did not go to an unknown person on the pretext that he performs ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and treats, until he knew that he is sound in his creed and that he performs ruqyah according to the Shari'ah, then there is no issue. Yes.
