Undoing witchcraft by using witchcraft like it

Is it permissible to undo witchcraft by using witchcraft?.

Praise be to Allaah.

Praise be to
Allaah and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allaah and his
family and companions.

Undoing the
effects of witchcraft on one who has been bewitched means that one of the
following two scenarios must apply:

1 – That the
ruqyahs prescribed in sharee’ah and the prayers for refuge with Allaah that
are narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) and permissible medicines are used. There is nothing wrong with that,
but one must be careful to adhere to the guidelines prescribed in Islam with
regard to ruqyah. See question no.
12918.

2 – That the
witchcraft is treated by means of witchcraft, which means getting close to
the jinn by means of offering sacrifices and other kinds of acts of worship.
This is not permissible, because this is a devilish action, and indeed it is
major shirk and we must avoid it. Similarly it is not permissible to treat
the problem by asking fortune-tellers, soothsayers and magicians for help
and doing what they say, because they are not believers and they are liars
and evildoers who claim to have knowledge of the unseen and who deceive
people. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) warned us against going to them and believing what they say. He
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a
fortune-teller and asks him about something, his prayer will not be accepted
for forty days.” And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: “Whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes what he says has
disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him).” The practitioners of witchcraft are kaafirs and it
is not permissible to go to them or to ask them about anything or to believe
them.

It was
narrated in a saheeh report that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about nashrah. He said:
“It is the work of the Shaytaan.” Narrated by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad,
3/294; Abu Dawood in his Sunan, 3868, with a jayyid isnaad.
Nashrah means undoing witchcraft by means of witchcraft. What the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) meant by nashrah
is that which the people of the Jaahiliyyah used to do, when they would ask
the practitioners of witchcraft to undo spells, or undoing witchcraft by
means of a spell from another practitioner of witchcraft.

With regard
to undoing witchcraft by means of ruqyah and prayers for refuge with Allaah
as prescribed in sharee’ah, and permissible kinds of medicine, there is
nothing wrong with that. This was stated by Ibn al-Qayyim and Shaykh ‘Abd
al-Rahmaan ibn Hasan in Fath al-Majeed, and also by other scholars.
Allaah is the One Whom we ask to keep the Muslims safe from all evils and to
preserve their religious commitment and help them to understand their
religion, and to keep them safe from everything that goes against His laws.
May Allaah send peace and blessings upon His slave and Messenger Muhammad
and upon his family and companions.

him, 3/280.

Ways of treating sihr

What is the treatment for someone who has been affected by sihr (magic or witchcraft, including spells aimed at causing hatred or love)? How can the believer save himself from this or avoid being harmed by it? Are there any du’aa’s or dhikrs from the Qur’aan or Sunnah for these things?

Praise be to Allaah.

There are different kinds of treatment:

1 – He can look at what the saahir (person who practices sihr) has
done. For example, if he has put some of his hair in a place, or in
a comb, or somewhere else, if it is discovered that he has put it in
such-and-such a place, it should be removed and burnt or destroyed.
This will cancel out what has been done and will foil the intentions
of the saahir.

2 –The saahir should be forced to undo what he has done, if his identity
is known. It should be said to him, “Either you undo what you have done,
or you will be executed.” After he has undone it, he should still be
executed by the authorities, because the saahir should be killed without
being asked to repent, according to the correct view. This is what was
done by ‘Umar, and it was narrated that the Messenger
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The punishment of
the saahir is to strike him with the sword (i.e., execute him).” When
Hafsah Umm al-Mu’mineen (may Allaah be pleased with her) found out that
a slave woman of hers was dealing with sihr, she killed her.

3 – Reciting Qur’aan, for it has a great effect in removing
(the effects of) sihr. Aayat al-Kursiy,
the aayahs of sihr from Soorat al-A’raaf,
Soorat Yoonus
and Soorat Ta-Ha, Soorat al-Kaafiroon,
Soorat al-Ikhlaas and
al-Mi’wadhatayn should
be recited over the person who has been affected by sihr, or into a
vessel. Du’aa’ should be made for healing and good health; in particular
the du’aa’ which has been narrated from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him):

“Allaahumma Rabb al-Naas, adhhib
al-ba’s wa’shfi, anta al-Shaafiy, laa shifaa’a illa shifaa’uka, shifaa’an
laa yughaadiru saqaman (O Allaah, Lord of mankind, remove
the evil and grant healing, for You are the Healer. There is no healing
except Your healing, which does not leave any sickness).”

One may also recite the words used by Jibreel when he treated the
Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) with ruqyah:

“Bismillaah urqeek, min kulli shay’in
yu’dheek, wa min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘aynin haasidin Allaah yushfeek,
bismillaah urqeek (In the name of Allaah I perform ruqyah
for you, from everything that is harming you, from the evil of every
soul or envious eye may Allaah heal you, in the name of Allaah I perform
ruqyah for you).”

This should be repeated three times, as should the recitation of “Qul
Huwa Allaah Ahad” and al-Mi’wadhatayn.

He may also recite the above into water, some of which should be drunk
by the person who has been affected by sihr, and he should wash with
the rest, one or more times as needed. This will remove the sihr by
Allaah’s Leave. This was mentioned by the scholars (may Allaah have
mercy on them), and by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Hasan (may Allaah
have mercy on him) in Fath al-Majeed
Sharh Kitaab al-Tawheed, in (the chapter entitled) Baab Ma jaa’a fi’l-Nushrah, and by others.

4 – He can take seven green lotus leaves, grind them up, and put them
into water, then recite into it the aayahs and soorahs mentioned above,
and the du’aa’s. Then he can drink some and wash with the rest. This
is also useful for treating a man who is being kept from having intercourse
with his wife. Seven green lotus leaves should be placed in water, the
verses referred to above should be recited into it, then he should drink
from it and wash with it. This is beneficial, by Allaah’s leave.

The verses which should be recited into the water and the lotus leaves
for those who have been affected by sihr and the one who is being prevented
from having intercourse with his wife because of sihr are as follows:

1-
Soorat al-Faatihah

2-
Aayat al-Kursiy
from Soorat al-Baqarah,
which is as follows (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allaah!
Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum
(the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists).
Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is
in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede
with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His
creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter.
And they will never compass
anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursiy extends
over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding
and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great” (al-Baqarah
2:255)

3-
The verses from Soorat al-A’raaf,
which are as follows (interpretation of the meaning):

“[Pharaoh]
said: ‘If you have come with a sign, show it forth, if you are one of
those who tell the truth.’

Then
[Moosa] threw his stick and behold! it was a serpent, manifest!

And
he drew out his hand, and behold! it was white (with radiance) for the
beholders.

The
chiefs of the people of Pharaoh said: ‘This is indeed a well-versed
sorcerer;

He
wants to get you out of your land, so what do you advise?’

They
said: ‘Put him and his brother off (for a time), and send callers to
the cities to collect —

That
they bring to you all well-versed sorcerers.’

And
so the sorcerers came to Pharaoh. They said: ‘Indeed there will be a
(good) reward for us if we are the victors.’

He
said: ‘Yes, and moreover you will (in that case) be of the nearest (to
me).’

They
said: ‘O Moosa! Either you throw (first), or shall we have the (first)
throw?’

He
[Moosa] said: ‘Throw you (first).’ So when they threw, they bewitched
the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them, and they displayed
a great magic.

And
We revealed to Moosa (saying): ‘Throw your stick,’ and behold! It swallowed
up straight away all the falsehood which they showed.

Thus
truth was confirmed, and all that they did was made of no effect.

So
they were defeated there and returned disgraced.

And
the sorcerers fell down prostrate.

They
said: ‘We believe in the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and
all that exists).

The
Lord of Moosa and Haaroon (Aaron).’” [al-A’raaf 7:106-122]

4-
The verses from Soorat Yoonus,
which are as follows (interpretation of the meaning):

“And
Pharaoh said: ‘Bring me every well-versed sorcerer.’

And
when the sorcerers came, Moosa said to them: ‘Cast down what you want
to cast!’

Then
when they had cast down, Moosa said: ‘What you have brought is sorcery,
Allaah will surely make it of no effect. Verily, Allaah does not set
right the work of Al-Mufsidoon.

And
Allaah will establish and make apparent the truth by His Words, however
much the Mujrimoon may hate (it).’” (Yoonus 10:79-82)

5-
The verses from Soorat Ta-Ha,
which are as follows (interpretation of the meaning):

“They
said: ‘O Moosa! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?’

[Moosa]
said: ‘Nay, throw you (first)!’ Then behold! their ropes and their sticks,
by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast.

So
Moosa conceived fear in himself.

We
(Allaah) said: ‘Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.

And
throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which
they have made. That which they have made is only a magician’s
trick, and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount
(of skill) he may attain’” [Ta-Ha 20:65-69]

6-
Soorat al-Kaafiroon

7-
Soorat al-Ikhlaas
and al-Mi’wadhatayn (i.e.,
Soorat al-Falaq and Soorat
al-Naas) – to be recited three times.

8-
Reciting some of the du’aa’s prescribed in sharee’ah, such as:

“Allaahumma
Rabb al-Naas, adhhib al-ba’s wa’shfi, anta al-Shaafiy, laa shifaa’a
illa shifaa’uka, shifaa’an laa yughaadiru saqaman (O Allaah,
Lord of mankind, remove the evil and grant healing, for You are the
Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, which does not leave
any sickness).”

This is good, and it may also be accompanied
by the du’aa’:

“Allaahumma
Rabb al-Naas, adhhib al-ba’s wa’shfi, anta al-Shaafiy, laa shifaa’a
illa shifaa’uka, shifaa’an laa yughaadiru saqaman (O Allaah,
Lord of mankind, remove the evil and grant healing, for You are the
Healer. There is no healing except Your healing, which does not leave
any sickness).”

If the above verses etc. are recited directly over the person who
has been affected by sihr, then the reciter blows on his head and chest,
these are also among the means of healing, by Allaah’s Leave, as stated
above.

Majmoo’ Fataawa wa Maqaalaat Mutanawwi’ah li Samaahat al-Shaykh al-‘Allaamah ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him), vol. 8, p. 144

How to deal with sihr (magic/witchcraft)

What is the way to deal with sihr (magic/witchcraft)?

Praise be to Allaah.

Whoever
is affected by sihr should not treat it with sihr, because evil cannot
be removed by evil, and kufr cannot be removed by kufr. Evil is removed
by good. Hence when the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about al-nushrah
(treating sihr with sihr), he said: “This is the work of the Shaytaan.”
Nushrah means removing sihr from a person who has been affected by it
by using more sihr. But if it is treated by means of the Qur’aan and
permissible medicines or good ruqyahs, there is nothing wrong with that,
but treating it with sihr is not permitted, as previously stated, because
sihr means worshipping the shayaateen (devils). The saahir (magician,
practitioner of witchcraft) does sihr or learns sihr only after worshipping
and serving the shayaateen, and drawing close to them by means of the
things that they like. After that, they teach him the means of sihr.
But, praise be to Allaah, there is no reason why the person who has
been affected by sihr should not be treated by means of reciting Qur’aan
and the prayers for refuge with Allaah that are prescribed in sharee’ah,
and permissible medicines, just as patients with all kinds of sicknesses
are treated by doctors. The patient does not necessarily recover, because
not every sick person does recover. A sick patient might be treated
and then recover if his appointed time (of death) has not yet arrived,
or he may not recover and may die from this sickness, even though he
may be been seen by the most skilled physicians and knowledgeable doctors.
When the appointed time of death comes, no medicine or treatment will
be of any avail, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And
Allaah grants respite to none when his appointed time (death) comes”

[al-Munaafiqoon
63:11]

Medical treatment
is of benefit when the appointed time has not yet come, and Allaah decrees
that His slave should be healed. The same applies in the case of one
who has been affected by sihr; Allaah may decree that he should recover,
or He may not decree that, as a test and a trial, or for other reasons
which are known to Allaah. Among those reasons may be the fact that
the one who is treating him does not have the right treatment for this
problem. It was narrated in a saheeh report that the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “For every disease
there is a medicine, and if that medicine is applied to the disease,
he will recover by Allaah’s Leave.” And he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has not sent
down any disease but He has also sent down the cure; the one who knows
it knows it and the one who does not know it does not know it.”

Among the treatments prescribed in sharee’ah is the treatment
of sihr with recitation of the Qur’aan. The greatest soorah in the Qur’aan,
which is al-Faatihah, should be recited over the person who has been
affected by sihr. This should be repeated several times. If it is recited
by a believing, righteous reader who knows that everything is subject
to the will and decree of Allaah, that Allaah is in control of all things,
that when He says to a thing ‘Be!’ it is, if the reciting is based on
faith, taqwa and sincerity, and is repeated several times, then the
sihr may be removed and the person may recover by Allaah’s Leave. Some
of the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) passed by some Bedouins
whose shaykh, i.e., their leader, had been bitten. They had done everything
they could but he had not gotten better. They said to one of the Sahaabah,
“Is there any raaqi (one who performs ruqyah) among you?” They said,
“Yes.” So one of them recited Soorat
al-Faatihah over him, and he immediately got up full of energy
as if nothing had happened; Allaah healed him of the ill-effects of
that snakebite. The Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is nothing wrong with
ruqyah so long as it does not involve shirk.”
He (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) performed ruqyah and had it performed for him. There is
a lot of good in ruqyah, and a great deal of benefit. Al-Faatihah,
Aayat al-Kursiy, “Qul
Huwa Allaahu Ahad”, al-Mi’wadhatayn
and other aayahs may be recited over the person who has been affected
by sihr, as well as good du’aa’s narrated in the ahaadeeth from the
Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him), such as the du’aa’ he said when he performed ruqyah
for a sick person and said, “Allaahumma
Rabb al-naas, adhhib il-ba’s, washfi anta al-Shaafi laa shifaa’a illa
shifaa’uka shifaa’an laa yughaadir saqaman (O Allaah, Lord
of mankind, remove the harm and heal him, for You are the Healer and
there is no healing except Your healing, with a healing which does not
leave any disease behind).” This may be repeated three times or more.
And it was also narrated from him
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that Jibreel (peace be upon
him) performed ruqyah for him and said three times: “Bismillaah
arqeeka min kulli shay’in yu’dheeka, wa min sharri kulli nafsin aw ‘aynin
haasid Allaah yashfeek, bismillaah arqeek (In the name of
Allaah I perform ruqyah for you, from every thing that is harming you,
from the evil of every soul or envious eye may Allaah heal you, in the
name of Allaah I perform ruqyah for you).” This is a great ruqyah which
was narrated in a saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It is prescribed to perform
ruqyah for the one who has been bitten or stung, and the one who has
been affected by sihr, and the one who is sick. There is nothing wrong
with performing ruqyah for one who is sick or has been affected by sihr
or bitten or stung, by reciting good du’aa’s, even if they were not
transmitted from the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so long as they do not contain
anything that is haraam, because of the general meaning of the hadeeth
of the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him): “There is nothing wrong with ruqyah so long
as it does not involve shirk.”

Allaah
may heal the sick person and the person affected by sihr, and others,
without any ruqyah and without any action on the part of other people,
because He is Able to do all things, and He is Wise in all that He does.
Allaah says in His Holy Book:

“Verily,
His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, ‘Be!’
and it is!”[Yaa-Seen
36:82]

To Him be praise
and thanks for all that He wills and decrees, for He is wise in all
that He does.

The sick person may not be healed if his appointed
time has come and it is decreed that he should die from this disease.
Among the things that may be used in ruqyah are the verses which speak
of sihr, which may be recited into water. These are the verses about
sihr in Soorat al-A’raaf,
where Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And
We revealed to Moosa (saying): ‘Throw your stick,’ and behold! It swallowed
up straight away all the falsehood which they showed.

Thus truth was confirmed,
and all that they did was made of no effect.

So they were defeated
there and returned disgraced

[al-A’raaf 7:117-119]

And in Soorat Yoonus
(interpretation of the meaning):

“And Pharaoh said:
‘Bring me every well-versed sorcerer.’

And when the sorcerers
came, Moosa said to them: ‘Cast down what you want to cast!’

Then when they had
cast down, Moosa said: ‘What you have brought is sorcery, Allaah will
surely make it of no effect. Verily, Allaah does not set right the work
of Al-Mufsidoon.

And Allaah will
establish and make apparent the truth by His Words, however much the
Mujrimoon may hate (it).’”

[Yoonus 10:79-82]

And in Soorat Ta-Ha
(interpretation of the meaning):

“They
said: ‘O Moosa! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?’

Moosa
said: ‘Nay, throw you (first)!’ Then behold! their ropes and their sticks,
by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast.

So Moosa conceived
fear in himself.

We (Allaah) said:
‘Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.

And
throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which
they have made. That which they have made is only a magician’s trick,
and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount (of skill)
he may attain.’”

[Ta-Ha 20:65-69]

These aayahs are among the things by which Allaah causes
the ruqyah against sihr to be beneficial. If the qaari’ (reader) recites
these verses into water, and also reads Soorat
al-Faatiha, Aayat al-Kursiy,
“Qul Huwa Allaahu Ahad”,
and al-Mi’wadhatayn into
the water, then pours it over the person who he thinks has been affected
by sihr or is being prevented by magic from having intercourse with
his wife, then he will be healed by Allaah’s Leave. If seven lotus leaves
are ground up and added to the water as well, this is appropriate, as
was mentioned by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Hasan (may Allaah have mercy
on him) in Fath al-Majeed,
quoting from some of the scholars in the chapter entitled Ma
jaa’a fi’l-Nushrah.
It is mustahabb to recite the three soorahs, namely Qul
Huwa Allaahu Ahad,
Qul A’oodhu bi Rabb il Falaq and Qul A’oodhu bi Rabb il-Naas.
The point is that these and similar treatments which are used to treat
this problem of sihr, may also be used to treat the one who is prevented
by magic from having intercourse with his wife. This has been tried
a great deal and Allaah caused it to yield results. A person may be
treated with al-Faatihah
alone and be healed, or with Qul
Huwa Allaahu Ahad and
al-Mi’wadhatayn on their
own, and be healed. It is very important that the person performing
this treatment and the person who is being treated should both have
sincere faith and trust in Allaah; they should know that He is control
of all things and that when He wills a thing it happens, and when He
does not will a thing it does not happen. The matter is in His hand,
whatever He wills happens and whatever He does not will does not happen.
When both the reader and the one who is read over have faith and are
sincere towards Allaah, the sickness will disappear quickly by Allaah’s
Leave, and both physical and spiritual medicine will be beneficial.
We ask Allaah to help us all to please Him, for He is All-Hearing and
is ever Near.

Fighting witchcraft with witchcraft to solve marital problems

What is your advice to one who fights witchcraft with witchcraft in order to solve marital problems?.

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

Curing a person who have been bewitched or had a spell cast
on him, if it done by permissible means, comes under the heading of the
treatment of sickness and disease. It is one of the best of deeds if one
seeks the pleasure of Allaah thereby, especially if that is also for the
purpose of solving marital or family problems.

There are two scenarios that may apply in curing one who has
been bewitched:

1 – Lifting the spell by means of further witchcraft, where
the practitioner of witchcraft and the sick person seek to draw close to the
jinns and devils in order to cure the spell. This is haraam and it is a
great evil and the work of the Shaytaan, as it says in Musnad Ahmad
(3/294) and Sunan Abi Dawood (3868), where it is narrated that Jaabir
ibn ‘Abd-Allaah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about
nushrah, and he said, “It is the work of the Shaytaan.” Classed as
saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 3868.

Nushrah means curing a person who has been bewitched. What is
referred to here is the type of nushrah that was used during the
Jaahiliyyah, which is curing witchcraft by means of witchcraft or by using
the services of the devils.

See al-Qawl al-Mufeed ‘ala Kitaab al-Tawheed, by
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him).

The way in which this hadeeth indicates that it is haraam is
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) described
it as being the work of the Shaytaan, and whatever is the work of the
Shaytaan is haraam, for the Shaytaan enjoins evil, immorality and saying of
Allaah what one does not know.

2 – Lifting the spell by means of the ruqyahs and prayers for
refuge with Allaah that are prescribed in Islam, and using permissible kinds
of medicine. This is permissible and is a righteous deed for which a person
will be rewarded, so long as he observes the proper etiquette of treatment
and performing ruqyah. .

Secondly:

Our advice to the who uses witchcraft to fight witchcraft is
to fear Allaah and to hasten to repent from this action which poses a threat
to his religious commitment and his Islam, before the Angel of Death comes
down to him and catches him unawares, whereupon regret will be to no avail
and there will be no turning back. The danger that witchcraft poses to one's
religious commitment is very real and very serious. Allaah has told us in
His Book that learning and teaching witchcraft is kufr as He says
(interpretation of the meaning):

“They followed what the Shayaateen (devils) gave out (falsely
of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaymaan (Solomon). Sulaymaan did not
disbelieve, but the Shayaateen (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic and
such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Haaroot and
Maaroot, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till
they had said, ‘We are for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic
from us).’”

[al-Baqarah 2:102]

So learning and teaching witchcraft constitutes kufr or
disbelief in Allaah. In al-Saheehayn it is narrated from Abu Hurayrah
(may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said: “Avoid the seven (sins) that doom a person to
Hell.” They said: “O Messenger of Allaah, what are they?” He said:
“Associating others with Allaah (shirk), witchcraft, killing a soul whom
Allaah has forbidden killing, except in cases required by law, consuming
riba, consuming the orphan’s wealth, running away from the battlefield, and
slandering chaste and innocent believing women.”

These are all sins which will doom a person to Hell, so let
this practitioner of witchcraft beware of the wrath and punishment of
Allaah, for His punishment is painful and severe. Let him beware of the
traps of the Shaytaan who makes this deed appear attractive and makes him
think that it is in the interests of the Muslims and a solution to their
problems, until he drags him to Hell and causes him to be thrown therein,
what a terrible end. Beware, for the matter is very serious, it is the
matter of eternal bliss or eternal misery; we seek refuge with Allaah from
loss and utter misery.

Thirdly:

Our advice to the sick person who has been bewitched is to be
patient and seek reward from Allaah. He should realize that this is a test
through which he may raise his status before Allaah if he is patient and
seeks reward. Al-Tirmidhi (2396) and Ibn Maajah (4031) narrated from Anas
ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The greatest reward comes with the
greatest trial. When Allaah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts
that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath.”
Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 2396.

He should depend on Allaah alone and put his trust in Him in
all his affairs, as well as following the means prescribed in sharee’ah and
the permissible practical means of treating his disease. He should turn to
Allaah and beseech Him with du’aa’ at the end of the night, and following
each prayer, for Allaah is the One who removes harm and relieves distress.
He is merciful to His believing slaves and answers the du’aa’ of the one who
is in difficulty.

“Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the
distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes
you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any
ilaah (god) with Allaah? Little is that you remember!”

[al-Naml 27:62]

Let him beware of approaching the ways of witchcraft,
soothsaying and fortunetelling, for they are a disease and a malady which
lead to certain doom. In Saheeh Muslim (2230) it is narrated from one
of the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever goes to a fortune teller and asks him about anything, his prayers
will not accepted for forty days.” In Musnad al-Imam Ahmad (9252) it
is narrated from Abu Hurayrah and al-Hasan (may Allaah be pleased with them)
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever goes to a soothsayer or a fortune teller and believes what he says
has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad.” Classed as saheeh
by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5939. So let the Muslim
beware of asking them about anything or believing them, in obedience to
Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),
and so as to protect his religious commitment and his belief (‘aqeedah), and
out of fear of the punishment of Allaah, and so as to avoid the things that
lead to shirk and kufr, for whoever dies in a state of shirk or kufr will
have lost in this world and in the Hereafter, and that is true loss.

Is urinary incontinence caused by the jinn, and what should he do when praying?

I read one question about someone having trouble while making wudoo .I have similar problem, or even worst. When ever I want to pray I feel gas coming out of me, if I go to toilet for urine I spend more than 30 min but urine and other liquid keep on coming from my private part during salaat I have excessive desire to go to toilet, I have to repeat my ablution again and again this situation is really embarrassing me, it makes salaat very difficult for me and this really had affect my faith. I am sure is not a kind of illness because I have seen many doctors but no improvement, and also this problem comes only when I want to pray.

Some people said it could be a jinn which has entered my body.

Please tell me how can I do my salaat easily, can I pray more than one salaat with the same wudoo even when these things are coming out of me. If this is cause by Jinn how can I get ride of it?

Praise be to Allaah.

Urinary incontinence and similar conditions where liquid etc,
is passed involuntarily and one cannot control it, should not be given any
attention, rather the person should pray according to his situation, even if
that liquid etc. is emitted during prayer, because it is too difficult to
avoid it. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“and has not laid upon you in
religion any hardship”

[al-Hajj 22:78]

But if he fears that his body or clothes may become
contaminated, he should wrap it (i.e. the private part) with a cloth or
similar, and pray after doing wudoo’, and he should not pay attention to
anything that comes out that he cannot control. This is an ordinary kind of
sickness, which is very common, and it is not caused by the jinn. Tahaarah
(purity) is essential so you have to renew it (i.e., renew wudoo’) for each
obligatory prayer.

How was the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) bewitched?

How was the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) bewitched, when Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allaah will protect you from mankind” [al-Maa’idah 5:67]?

How could he have been bewitched when he was receiving Revelation from His Lord and conveying that to the Muslims? How could he convey it if he was bewitched, and the kaafirs and mushrikeen said:

“You follow none but a man bewitched”[al-Furqaan 25:8 – interpretation of the meaning]

We hope that you could explain this and clear up these doubts.

Praise be to Allaah.

It was proven in a saheeh
hadeeth that this witchcraft took place in Madeenah, when the Revelation and
the Message had become well-established and clear, and after the evidence of
Prophethood and the truthfulness of the Message had been confirmed, and
after Allaah had supported His Prophet against the mushrikeen and humiliated
them. Then a Jewish person called Labeed ibn al-A’sam came to him and did
some kind of witchcraft against him, using a comb and the hairs stuck to it
and the skin of pollen of a male date palm. He – the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) – started to imagine that he had done
something with his wife when he had not done it, but his reason, feelings
and ability to distinguish matters remained with him with regard to the
things he was telling the people, praise be to Allaah. So he continued to
speak to the people of the truth which Allaah had revealed to Him. But he
felt that something was affecting him with regard to his wives, as ‘Aa’ishah
(may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “He used to imagine that he had done
something in the house with his wife when he had not done it. So Revelation
came to him from his Lord via Jibreel (peace be upon him), telling him what
had happened. So he sent someone to take that thing [the material used for
witchcraft purposes] out of the well of one of the Ansaar, and he destroyed
it.” Then the effects of that left him, praise be to Allaah, and Allaah
revealed to him the two soorahs of seeking refuge with Allaah (al-Mi’wadhatayn,
the last two soorahs of the Qur’aan). He recited them and all harm left him.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Those
who seek refuge can never seek refuge with anything like them.” Nothing
resulted from this witchcraft that could have harmed the people or
undermined the Message or Revelation. Allaah protected him from the people
with regard to the matter of receiving and conveying the Message.

But with regard to the
kinds of harm that befell the Messengers, he (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) was not protected from them, rather some such things
befell him too. He was wounded on the day of Uhud, and his helmet was
smashed on his head and his cheek was cut, some of the rings from his chain
mail pierced his cheeks, he fell in one of the holes that were there, and
they subjected him to intense persecution in Makkah. He suffered some of the
things that the Messengers before him had suffered, and that were decreed
for him, by means of which Allaah raised him in status and multiplied his
hasanaat (reward for good deeds). But Allaah protected him from them, so
that they were not able to kill him or to prevent him from conveying the
Message; they were not able to prevent him from fulfilling his obligation to
convey the Message, so he conveyed it and fulfilled the mission with which
he had been entrusted. May the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him,
and praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds.

It is possible for witchcraft to come between a man and his wife?

It
is possible for witchcraft to come between a man and his wife?

I am asking whether it is true that some one makes what
we call (Hojob) in Arabic to make other peole fail in their lifes.
I dont know if you understand what I mean or not. I
will give you an example, I was told that some people dont like others, so
what they do,they go to specialized people and ask them to do something by
the help of the (Jin) or whatever and make the life of that person
misery,like makes him fail in his life or ....... I dont know whether this
is available truley or not .
please give me an answer

Praise be to Allaah.

The correct view according to the majority of Ahl
al-Sunnah is that witchcraft or magic is real and that it can have an effect
– if Allaah wills and decrees it – on the body of the one against whom
it is directed, and it could even kill him.

Imaam al-Quraafi said: “Witchcraft is real and the
person against whom it is directed could die, or his mood and habits could
be changed… This was also the view of al-Shaafa’i and Ibn Hanbal…” (al-Furooq,
4/149)

The Mu’tazilah and Qadariyyah did not agree with
this… but that is of no significance. Al-Quraafi and others mentioned that
the Sahaabah agreed that it (witchcraft) is real, before there emerged
anybody who denied this.

Among the evidence of Ahl al-Sunnah is:

The aayah (interpretation of the meaning):

“but the Shayaateen (devils) disbelieved, teaching
men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels,
Haaroot and Maaroot, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such
things) till they had said, “We are for trial, so disbelieve not (by
learning this magic from us).” And from these (angels) people learn that
by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could
not thus harm anyone except by Allaah’s Leave. And they learn that which
harms them and profits them not.” [al-Baqarah 2:102]

This aayah clearly indicates what is being asked about
here, which is that witchcraft is real and that the practitioner of
witchcraft can cause separation between a man and his wife and that he can
cause harm to people by his witchcraft – if that is decreed by the
universal will of Allaah.

The aayah (interpretation of the meaning):

“And from the evil of the witchrafts when they blow in
the knots” [al-Falaq 113:4]

‘the witchcrafts when they blow in the knots’ refers
to witches or female practitioners of witchcraft who tie knots as part of
their magic and blow on them. If witchcraft were not real, Allaah would
not have commanded us to seek refuge from it.

Further proof is to be seen in the fact that witchcraft
was directed against the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) by the Jew Labeed ibn al-A’sam. This is a saheeh hadeeth
which was narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.

Further evidence is to be seen in the real-life
experiences of many people, which cannot be overlooked.

Ibn al-Qayyim said: the witchcraft which causes people to
be sick or to feel depressed, or which makes them love or hate, exists and
is well known to all people. Many people have experienced what it can do to
them.” (al-Tafseer al-Qayyim, p. 571).

Ibn Qudaamah said: “It is well known among people that a
man can be separated from his wife (by witchcraft) when he gets married, so
that he is unable to have intercourse with her, but when the spell is
lifted, then he is able to have intercourse with her. This is so commonly
known that it cannot be denied. There are so many reports of witchcraft that
it is inconceivable that so many people would agree on a lie.” (al-Mughni,
8/151)

There are many ways of protecting oneself against
witchcraft:

The best way is to fear Allaah, obey His commands, put one's
trust in Him, seek refuge with Allaah, and start each morning by eating
seven dates. All of these were narrated in saheeh ahaadeeth.

There are many ways of removing the effects of witchcraft,
including:

Ruqyah [prayers, supplications], the best of which
is supplications from the Qur’aan, then du’aa’s narrated in saheeh
haadeeth.

Finding the objects used for witchcraft purposes and
doing something to neutralize them.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: the
Sunnah for treating this sickness – two kinds were transmitted from him:

One of them – which is the best – is to locate and
neutralize the object, as it was reported in a saheeh hadeeth that he

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) asked his Lord about that, and
He directed him to a well where he found a comb, some hairs that had
fallen when he combed his hair ….…. When he removed these things from
the well, he felt better, as if he had recovered from an illness. This is
this is the best way of dealing with this problem, and is like removing
something bad from the body by expelling it.

Cupping, induced vomiting and surgery.

Ibn al-Qayyim said – continuing what he said in the
words quoted above: “The second kind is by physically removing the place
affected by the witchcraft, because witchcraft has an effect on human
nature and the bodily humours, and can affect moods. If its effects are
noted in any part if the body and it is possible to remove the bad
material, this will be very beneficial.” (Zaad al-Ma’aad,
4/124, 125).

And Allaah knows best.

How to deal with sihr (magic/witchcraft)

What is the way to deal with sihr (magic/witchcraft)?

Praise be to Allaah.

“And
Allaah grants respite to none when his appointed time (death) comes”

[al-Munaafiqoon
63:11]

“Verily,
His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, ‘Be!’
and it is!”[Yaa-Seen
36:82]

To Him be praise
and thanks for all that He wills and decrees, for He is wise in all
that He does.

“And
We revealed to Moosa (saying): ‘Throw your stick,’ and behold! It swallowed
up straight away all the falsehood which they showed.

Thus truth was confirmed,
and all that they did was made of no effect.

So they were defeated
there and returned disgraced

[al-A’raaf 7:117-119]

And in Soorat Yoonus
(interpretation of the meaning):

“And Pharaoh said:
‘Bring me every well-versed sorcerer.’

And when the sorcerers
came, Moosa said to them: ‘Cast down what you want to cast!’

Then when they had
cast down, Moosa said: ‘What you have brought is sorcery, Allaah will
surely make it of no effect. Verily, Allaah does not set right the work
of Al-Mufsidoon.

And Allaah will
establish and make apparent the truth by His Words, however much the
Mujrimoon may hate (it).’”

[Yoonus 10:79-82]

And in Soorat Ta-Ha
(interpretation of the meaning):

“They
said: ‘O Moosa! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?’

Moosa
said: ‘Nay, throw you (first)!’ Then behold! their ropes and their sticks,
by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast.

So Moosa conceived
fear in himself.

We (Allaah) said:
‘Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.

And
throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which
they have made. That which they have made is only a magician’s trick,
and the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount (of skill)
he may attain.’”

[Ta-Ha 20:65-69]

Is it possible to talk to the jinn and use them?

I spoke with this guy who´s know to e have some powers to talk with Jinn
I guess muslim ones), and he told me some stuff about me.those
people use words , phrases from Quran to control Jinn.
What you think about those people ? And is it ok to speek with them.
and those people ( Ahl el-Ketab ) who are they?
frankly, I read books, they mention how to make ( TAWEEZ), and how to control Jinn, and see angles, and these books use Quran´s words I like to know more about this... I live away from my family for some years, I faced many problems, And Allah helped me to solve them...
I have some ( stupid ) love problem, I need to talk with someone who can
really tell me about it.. and how to solve it..

Praise be to Allaah.

It
is possible to talk to the jinn, but finding about unseen matters and what
is in people’s hearts is haraam. Usually
those who use words and phrases of the Qur’aan in order to gain control
over the jinn use ways that are not Islamic. Using the jinn is a power
that was given only to Sulaymaan (peace be upon him). Hence when the
Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wanted to tie up
a jinn whom he had overcome during his prayer, he remembered the
du’aa’ of Sulayman and did not do that.

So
you should try to advise these people and if they respond, all well and
good; otherwise the safest thing to do is to leave them alone and not
speak to them.

Ahl
al-Kitaab (the People of the Book) are the Jews and Christians.

It
is OK to speak with the jinn if this happens without you seeking it, and
in fact it is mustahabb to call them to the religion of Allaah and to
adhere to His sharee’ah, just as you call people. It is not advisable to
read books or to recite Qur’aan for this purpose, because the Qur’aan
was not revealed for such things; it was revealed to be a light and a
guide in the life of the Muslim, so that the Muslim can follow it, obeying
its commandments and avoiding that which it forbids.

With
regard to the angels, the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) and other prophets saw them, and some of the awliyaa’ (close
friends of Allaah) spoke with them, as it was reported from ‘Imraan ibn
Husayn (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the angels used to greet him
with salaam until he started to use branding (cauterization for medical
purposes), then they stopped. When he stopped using branding, they started
to greet him again. And Allaah knows best.
