The Method of Treating Sorcery and the Ruling on the Sorcerer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The method of treating the one who has been subjected to sorcery?
Answer:
Treatment has several methods, among which are: reciting over the one who has been subjected to sorcery, and blowing on him. Another method is to recite into water: the three verses of sorcery in Surat al-A'raf, Surat Yunus, and Surat Ta-Ha, along with the Verse of the Throne, "Say, O you disbelievers," "Say, He is Allah, the One," and the two chapters of protection (al-Mu'awwidhatan). One recites these into the water, then drinks it, performs ablution with it, and bathes with the remainder.
Another method is to put seven leaves of the well-known sidr tree into the water and recite into it what has been mentioned. This has been tried and tested—by the permission of Allah—for removing sorcery and treating one who has been prevented from having intercourse with his wife. This has been tried and tested...
Another method is supplication: calling upon Allah, humbling oneself before Him, and seeking refuge in Him during prostration... asking Allah to remove it from him...
Another method is what is known from his actions: he is taken, rebuked, and disciplined until he removes what he did. If it is known that it was so-and-so, he is taken and the necessary punishment is carried out against him... until he removes what he did. If it is known after he has removed what he did, he deserves to be killed; he deserves to be executed.
Question:..
Answer: This is what is inconsistent with that. They said this when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in Makkah—(peace and blessings be upon him)—regarding the known sorcery that causes one to lose his mind, become confused, and lose his intellect. As for this incidental sorcery, it was done to him (peace and blessings be upon him) but did not affect his intellect or his eloquence (peace and blessings be upon him). It was something incidental and light; it affected the relationship between him and his family, but it did not affect anything regarding the conveyance of the message, clarity of speech, or issuing judgments. It was a specific matter, excluded from what the enemies of Allah attributed to him.
