Going to a sorcerer in order to have the sorcery removed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 837 ):
Q: A man married a woman, and there was the utmost affection and sincere love between them. After a while, she came to hate him intensely without any reason. It was said that this was the work of sorcerers. Some people came to him and told him to go to a person who does this work so that he could overcome what they had plotted against him. They said that this counts as defense and for the sake of preserving his wife, and that in cases of dire necessity, prohibited things become permissible. The man stopped because he believed that this was disbelief. Is it permissible for the man to defend himself with sorcery to break the sorcery if he is afflicted with it, or should he submit the matter and be patient? Is this defense considered a response to aggression, or is it considered disbelief?
A: It is not permissible for you to go to a sorcerer in order to have the sorcery you find in yourself removed with similar sorcery; due to the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): narrated by al-Tabarani from 'Imran ibn Husayn. Al-Munawi said: Its chain of narration is good. And due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) when asked about the removal of sorcery: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 13:100 narrated by the Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud with a good chain of narration. The removal of sorcery is the breaking of the sorcery on the one who has been bewitched by sorcery. There are among the supplications and lawful medicines what is sufficient
for removing this ailment. So the Muslim should treat himself with what Allah has prescribed of dhikr, supplications, and permissible medicines. And he should fear Allah in himself by following His command and avoiding His prohibition:[At-Talaq 65:2] . And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

We are not from the one who takes an omen as a bad sign or has an omen taken for him, or who does fortune-telling or has fortune-telling done for him, or who does sorcery or has sorcery done for him
ليس منا من تطير أو تطير له، أو تكهن أو تكهن له، أو سحر أو سحر لهIt is from the work of Satan

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا
