Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O Shaykh. What is the ruling on taking a young boy to be treated with what they call al-ukhiyyah? It is known that this woman determines whether he has al-ukhiyyah or not by sucking his thumb. What is the ruling on going to this woman?
The Shaykh : If this woman treats with tangible, known things, there is no harm, because she may have knowledge of the effects and nature of this disease through experience and practice. If she gives you known, tangible medicines, there is nothing wrong with that.
