The ruling on revealing sorcery from a person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Is it permissible to reveal sorcery from a person?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible except through the prescribed ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), the prescribed supplications, and the Qur'an. It is not permissible to use sorcery like it; it is not permissible to undo sorcery with sorcery like it. However, it is permissible to use supplications and permissible medicines. Yes.
The questioner:
And if the intention is only to reveal whether a person is under sorcery or not? If their intention is only to reveal whether this person is under sorcery or not, and they do not undo the sorcery?
The Shaykh:
My brother, sorcery is either hidden, and Allah suffices us from its evil, or it appears in a person's actions, his mentality, and his body, causing him to fall ill. So sorcery is between what requires revealing and what does not.
