Going to sorcerers and soothsayers


375

A: It is not permissible for a Muslim to go to magicians in order to neutralize a magic spell or whatsoever. The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated, If anyone resorts to a diviner or a soothsayer and believes in what he says, then he disbelieves in what was revealed to Muhammad. One who does so must repent to Allah (Glorified be He) for this action, trust in Him and resolve never to do it again. Moreover, one must get rid of this counter-spell because it takes the ruling of prohibited amulets that involve Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship). However, a Muslim should seek treatment through lawful medicines and Islamically lawful Ruqyah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
