A relative of mine is under the influence of sorcery; when he recites the Qur'an, it becomes heavy for him and he cannot continue?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I have a relative who is under the influence of sorcery, and when he recites the Qur'an, it becomes heavy for him, and he cannot continue, and he does not want anyone to perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on him, on the grounds that he does not want to be deprived of entering with the seventy thousand who enter Paradise without reckoning. And he has become, O Honorable Shaykh, negligent in obedience. What is the Shari'ah solution for him? And is it forbidden

Answer:
to be negligent in obedience and to be among the seventy thousand? The one who is negligent in obedience will not be with the seventy thousand. The seventy thousand completed their obedience; they performed the obligatory and recommended acts, and they left the forbidden and disliked acts, and some permissible acts out of caution. These are the seventy thousand. They left cauterization because it is disliked; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked cauterization. They left taking an omen as a bad sign because it is shirk (associating partners with Allah). They left asking people for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) because asking people is humiliation. They elevated themselves above asking people. However, if someone comes and performs ruqyah on him without him asking, there is no harm. But he does not request ruqyah, he does not ask anyone. If someone comes and performs ruqyah, there is no obstacle. Yes.
