Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the fear of sorcerers and the anxiety about them, since some people fear that they will harm them or cast a spell on them: is this a deficiency in reliance upon Allah or not? And how is this cured?
Answer:
There is no doubt that this is a deficiency in tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and a deficiency in reliance upon Allah. A person must revere Allah, fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and place his reliance upon Allah. Whoever places his reliance upon Allah, He is sufficient for him; no one can harm him if Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) takes him under His care. Rely upon Allah, place your trust in Allah, face Allah, and fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and no one will harm you. If he was a scholar, may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
