Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The sender, Umm Nasser, says: Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. I am sending this to you after my final repentance, and may it be the final one, if Allah wills. She says: I am currently 36 years old, and my life has not been free of major sins and repentance. I performed Hajj nine years ago, but I returned to those sins afterward because he threatened me with sorcery if I did not comply with him. I am always afraid of him harming me with sorcery. My question, Honorable Shaykh, is: Can he harm me? Especially since I am sincere in my repentance, if Allah wills, no matter what I do, and I will not return to sin no matter what happens, if Allah wills. What is your guidance for me? And how do I protect myself from those threats?
Answer:
Protection is achieved by the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, seeking refuge in Allah, seeking protection from the evil of His creation, reciting Ayat al-Kursi after every obligatory prayer, and reciting the three surahs: al-Ikhlas and the two Mu’awwidhat. Indeed, this is what Allah repels harm with. There is no doubt that maintaining the prayers is also what protects the Muslim, especially the Fajr and 'Asr prayers, which Allah uses to protect the Muslim from all evil. Likewise, increasing in the remembrance of Allah is a fortress to which the Muslim turns for protection from the evil of the devils among humans and jinn. This is the impregnable fortress that, if the Muslim maintains it along with reliance upon Allah and depending upon Allah, [he is protected]. Second, if the harm of this person is not repelled, you must turn to the authority, to your ruler, and to the authorities to take action against him.
