The ruling on one who considers sorcery that does not cause problems to be permissible
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is your opinion, Your Eminence, regarding a man who used ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and did not find it beneficial, so he turned to sorcery, saying: "It does no harm as long as it does not cause any problems?"
A: Sorcery is an abomination and disbelief. If the patient was not cured by the recitation, medicine also does not guarantee a cure; for not every treatment is beneficial and achieves the intended result. Allah may delay the cure for a long period, or a person may die from this illness. It is not a condition of treatment that the person be cured, and that is not an excuse for one who was treated by a person with recitation and did not see a cure to turn to sorcerers. The person of legal capacity is commanded to resort to the lawful and permissible means, and is prohibited from resorting to the forbidden means, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3874Da'if (Al-Albani) It was also narrated from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Bulugh al-Maram 10:50.
So all matters are in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); He is the One who cures whom He wills, and decrees death and illness upon whom He wills, as He (Glorified and Exalted is He) said: [Al-An'am: 17]. And He (the Exalted) said: [Yunus 10:107] the verse [Yunus: 107].
So the Muslim must have patience and hope for reward, adhere to the means that Allah has made permissible for him, and beware of what Allah has forbidden for him, while believing that the decree of Allah is effective and His (Glorified and Exalted is He) command has no refuter, as He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: : [Ya-Sin: 82], and He (Glorified and Exalted is He) said: [Al-Takwir: 29], and the verses in this meaning are many.

so treat yourselves medically, but use nothing unlawful
عباد الله! تداووا، ولا تداووا بحرامAllah did not make your cure in what He made Haram (unlawful) to you.
إن الله لم يجعل شفاءكم فيما حرم عليكمSo all matters are in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); He is the One who cures whom He wills, and decrees death and illness upon whom He wills, as He (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:
And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him. And if He touches you with good - then He is over all things competent.
وَإِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلا هُوَ وَإِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌAnd if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty
وَإِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلا هُوَ وَإِنْ يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِSo the Muslim must have patience and hope for reward, adhere to the means that Allah has made permissible for him, and beware of what Allah has forbidden for him, while believing that the decree of Allah is effective and His (Glorified and Exalted is He) command has no refuter, as He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: :
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُAnd you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
