The questioner : Also, they say in their letters that a woman was told she has been subjected to sorcery and it needs to be removed, but she must pay a sum of four thousand riyals, and he will remove this sorcery from her. What is the solution to this? May Allah guide you?
The Shaykh : The solution to this is to say that the removal of sorcery is divided into two categories. One is that it is removed by forbidden means, such as using sorcery to remove sorcery, as some Bedouins do by pouring molten lead into water over the head of the bewitched person so that they know about his sorcery. This is not permissible.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If the removal of sorcery is by forbidden means, then it is forbidden and not permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) It was narrated by Abu Dawud with a good chain.
The second category is that the removal of sorcery is by permissible means, such as supplications, recitation over the patient, and permissible medicines. There is nothing wrong with this, and there is no blame.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.

He was asked about the nushrah (amulet) and he said, "It is from the work of Satan."
