Those who perform supernatural feats claim that the Qur'an may be recited over them while they are performing, and that this does not invalidate their act!

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: Some of those who perform types of supernatural feats, such as eating coals and the like, mislead people by saying, "Recite the Qur'an over our actions." They say that some members of the committee have recited it over them before you, and our work continued. What is the response to them?

The Shaykh:
If it is true that they recite the Qur'an and it does not invalidate their act, then it is a matter of sorcery and illusion. They use illusion; their magic makes it appear to them that it is moving, and they use illusion over the eyes, covering the eyes. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
It is either from the work of Satan or from illusion and deceptive magic. Yes.
