The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: It has become widespread in our village, where there are many old houses with wooden pillars. He says: A piece of paper is written on with incomprehensible words, and it is said that if it is hung in a room, the ants that eat the wood will not approach that room. He notes that some of them, O Shaykh, have already hung it.
The Shaykh:
Reading this writing for the ants is seeking help from other than Allah the Exalted. Yes.
The questioner:
She asks: Is this considered sorcery and magic?
The Shaykh:
Yes, this is sorcery. It is not permissible. Yes.
