The claim of healing due to the treatment of fortune-tellers and sorcerers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, it is known that a person went to fortune-tellers and sorcerers for treatment, then he was treated and claims that he was completely healed because of their treatment.
Answer:
You have heard the statement that it is not permissible to go to sorcerers or fortune-tellers, based on the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the claim that he was healed by their treatment, that is a lie. Healing is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is Allah who healed him, not their treatment. So the healing is attributed to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Perhaps he is being tested, and his healing appears by the command of Allah, so he thinks it is because of the treatment of these people, whereas it is from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) as a form of trial and examination.
