The Shari'ah Method of Protection from Sorcery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the Shari'ah method of protection from sorcery?

A: One should ask Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) for well-being, and seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, and say: "In the name of Allah, with Whose name nothing on earth or in the sky can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing" (three times) every day and night; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
If anyone says three times: "In the name of Allah, when Whose name is mentioned nothing on Earth or in Heaven can cause harm, and He is the Hearer, the Knower"من قال: بسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء وهو السميع العليم ثلاث مرات لم يضره شيء
Sunan Abi Dawud 5088Sahih (Al-Albani)
Also, when he enters a house, he should say:
I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of what He has created," nothing would harm him until he marches from that stopping place.أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق لم يضره شيء حتى يرتحل من منزله ذلك
Sahih Muslim 2708a
And he should repeat in the morning and evening:
I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He createdأعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلق
Sunan Abi Dawud 3898Sahih (Al-Albani)
three times,
Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'a ismihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa Huwas-Sami'ul-'Alimبسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء وهو السميع العليم
Sunan Ibn Majah 3869
three times. He should also recite Ayat al-Kursi after every prayer and before sleeping.
Among the causes of safety is also reciting:
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
and (the two chapters of seeking refuge) after every prayer, as this is among the causes of safety. After Fajr and Maghrib (three times)
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
and (the two chapters of seeking refuge). This is also among the causes of safety, along with increasing the remembrance of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), increasing the recitation of His great Book, and asking Him (Glorified and Exalted is He) to protect you from the evil of every evil-doer.
Among the causes of safety is also saying:
I seek Refuge with Your Perfect Words from every devil and from poisonous pests and from every evil, harmful, envious eye.أعوذ بكلمات الله التامة من كل شيطان وهامة ومن كل عين لامة
Sahih al-Bukhari 3371
I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah, which no righteous person or sinner can surpass, from the evil of what He has created, spawned, and brought forth, from the evil of what descends from the sky, from the evil of what ascends in it, from the evil of what He has spawned on earth, from the evil of what emerges from it, from the evil of the night and day raiders, and from the evil of every raider except a raider who raids with good, O the Most Merciful.أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات التي لا يجاوزهن بر ولا فاجر من شر ما خلق وذرأ وبرأ، ومن شر ما ينزل من السماء ومن شر ما يعرج فيها، ومن شر ما ذرأ في الأرض ومن شر ما يخرج منها، ومن شر طوارق الليل والنهار ومن شر كل طارق إلا طارقا يطرق بخير يا رحمان
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22:491
These are among the seekings of refuge by which Allah protects the servant from evil.
