Guidance for One Afflicted by Sorcery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man has been afflicted by sorcery for a long time, to the point that it has prevented him from many good deeds and caused him to fall into many sins. Reciting the Qur'an and standing in night prayer have become burdensome for him. His question is: What is your guidance in this matter?

Answer:
Allah does not send down any disease, but He also sends down the cure for it.ما أنزل الله داء إلا أنزل له دواء
Sunan Ibn Majah 3438Sahih (Darussalam)
, and among that is sorcery. So you must engage in frequent supplication and recitation of the Qur'an, and you must also seek treatment for the sorcery by whatever removes it from you.
