Advice for those who resort to sorcerers for treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The listener Ali Hamil from Yemen has two questions. He says: What is the advice of Your Excellency the Shaykh for those who go to sorcerers seeking treatment, and the result is that the patient's condition worsens?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to go to sorcerers and magicians; this is forbidden and not permissible. Allah has provided the Muslims with an alternative to seeking treatment from these people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Seek treatment, O servants of Allah, but do not seek treatment with what is forbidden.” Yes.
The questioner:
Is the forbidden thing general, whether it is sorcery or something else?
The Shaykh:
Yes, every forbidden thing.
