The Ruling on Breaking Sorcery with Sorcery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a sister asking, Honorable Shaykh. She says: I was harmed by my daughter-in-law, who performed sorcery on me. Is it permissible to break sorcery with sorcery? And if a person is subjected to sorcery, what is prescribed for him?
Answer:
It is not permissible to break sorcery with similar sorcery. Rather, sorcery is broken by ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), by ruqyah and supplications, by lawful ruqyah, supplications, and the Qur'an, by reciting the Qur'an. This is what breaks the sorcery. This is called al-nashrah. Al-nashrah is the removal of sorcery from the one who was subjected to it. If it is done with similar sorcery, it is forbidden and not permissible. But if it is done with lawful ruqyah and permissible medicines, there is no harm in that. Yes.
