Is it permissible to go to a place where it is said there is a treasure and a spell upon it, and have a specialist in the Qur'an recite over this place to remove this spell?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My Shaykh, I asked a question a week ago, and, glory be to Allah, the answer did not come because a phone call came and occupied us from the question. It was about the spell, and the question is to clarify whether it is permissible to go to a place where it is thought there is a treasure, and it is said that this place is under a spell, and in one way or another, the person, who is a specialist of course, tries to remove this spell so that he can benefit from this treasure. Is this action permissible?
The Shaykh : And where did he get his specialization from?
The questioner : The specialization.
The Shaykh : Until he claimed.
The questioner : Yes, the specialization, my Shaykh, it means from some experiences, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Let me...
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The best thing is to say...
The questioner : Heh heh, I mean, like our brother Abu Anas, my Shaykh, I mean, he has experience, let us say, with the jinn.
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve him.
The questioner : Ameen, heh heh, I mean, it was actually Abu Anas himself who raised this question with me, and there was a chat between me and him. He said, "It must be that, perhaps you know from our Shaykh's questions, if Allah wills, we will teach him the question." So his point of view was that this treasure, of course, the issue is one of suspicion, but a suspicion exists that this treasure, when it is buried in the ground, why should not a person or persons benefit from it? In one way or another, perhaps this treasure can be extracted. So this is his point of view regarding proceeding with such an action?
The Shaykh : About Anas, Ali, Abu Anas, Ali.
The questioner: Yes, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : About Abu Anas, Ali.
The questioner : Ah.
The Shaykh : Because I see the matter...
The questioner : Yes, you want to discuss with him the original matter, if Allah wills, my Shaykh, we will speak.
The Shaykh : Because if the question does not benefit from the one who says it, if it does not benefit, but from the one who claims that there is a treasure in this place, and who informed him, is it more important, the humans or the jinn?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If he says the jinn, the matter returns to what we say:[Al-Jinn 72:6].
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If it is the humans, the question is not applicable.
The questioner : Yes, because the humans, everyone wants to obtain...
The Shaykh : No, their scientific experimental methods that are not built on speculative suspicions about the unseen.
The questioner : Yes, yes, yes, of course, my Shaykh, as I said, I mean, most of it, or rather all of it, is from the jinn, I mean, no one tells them that there is a treasure here except the jinn.
The Shaykh : And where did he get his specialization from?
The questioner : The specialization.
The Shaykh : Until he claimed.
The questioner : Yes, the specialization, my Shaykh, it means from some experiences, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : If he says the jinn, the matter returns to what we say:
And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًاThe questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If it is the humans, the question is not applicable.
The questioner : Yes, because the humans, everyone wants to obtain...
The Shaykh : No, their scientific experimental methods that are not built on speculative suspicions about the unseen.
