Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is sorcery a reality or an illusion? And is the one who has been subjected to sorcery permitted to seek treatment for it by means other than the lawful methods?
Answer:
Sorcery exists and has a reality; it causes illness, kills, and causes confusion. May Allah protect us from its evil. Allah has not sent down a disease without sending down a cure for it. Therefore, sorcery is treated with the lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and with permissible and beneficial medicines. It is treated with what Allah the Exalted has made permissible. Allah has not sent down a disease without sending down a cure for it, and sorcery is among them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
