assalamu alaikum,
i would to know if one is effected by sihr, what is the recommended remedies and prophatic medicines , where to ged in south africa,
sukran jazzillaa
Wa alaikumus salaam wa rahmatullaahia wa barakaatuh. Im not privy to ruqyah services in South Africa, afwan. Allaahu Aa’lam. Here’s some info from Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allaah have mercy upon him).
Sihr, Witch Craft: Its meaning and its effect on
marital relationship and its cure.
According to sharee’ah, the meaning of sihr is what the magicians do to
delude and confuse people, so that the one who is watching thinks that
it is real when in fact it is not. As Allaah said concerning the
magicians of Pharaoh (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.’
Taa Haa 20:65-69
Sihr may involve things that the magician does when tying knots on
which he blows, as is referred to in the Qur’aan (interpretation of the
meaning):“And from the evil of those who practise witchcraft when they
blow in the knots”[al-Falaq 113:4]
And it may involve other things which they manage to do through the
shayaateen (devils), so they do things that may affect a man’s reason or
make him sick; they may cause division between a man and his wife,
resulting in her looking ugly to him, or by making her hate her husband or
be put off by him. This is blatant kufr as the Qur’aan states. Allaah
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
witchcraft (sihr), is real and is not an illusion, and it may have an
effect by Allaah’s leave.
Sihr is a serious crime and is one of the kinds of kufr. It is one of
things with which people have been tested, in the past and currently,
among the nations of the past, during the Jaahiliyyah and in this ummah.
Sihr is so called because its means are hidden or secret, and because
the practitioners of sihr deal with things in secret which enable them
to perform illusions to confuse the people and deceive their eyes, and
to cause them harm or steal their money, etc., in a secretive manner so
that in most cases nobody realizes what is happening.
Can sihr (magic, witchcraft) have an affect on the marital
relationship?
The saahir (person who practises sihr) does things by which he affects
people with sihr. Sometimes this is by illusion or making things appear
to be something else, as Allaah said concerning the sorcerers of
Pharaoh (interpretation of the meaning): “and their sticks, by their magic,
appeared to him as though they moved fast” [Ta-Ha 20:66]
They do actions that change how things look in people’s eyes, so that
they see things other than they really are, as Allaah says in Soorat
al-A’raaf (interpretation of the meaning):
“So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck
terror into them, and they displayed a great magic” [al-A’raaf 7:116]
So they do things to bewitch people’s eyes, so that they see a rope as
a snake or a stick as a moving snake, when it is not a snake at all but
only a stick or a rope.
They may also bewitch people in other ways, so that a man becomes
hateful to his wife, or vice versa. They may do this by bewitching their
eyes, or by giving them evil potions which they get from the shayaateen,
or by tying knots on which they blow and pray to the shayaateen instead
of to Allaah, and seek their help in harming people. So a man may
imagine that his wife is not the wife he knows, and she may appear ugly or
hateful to him, or a wife may imagine that her husband is not the
husband that she knows, and she sees him as something ugly and terrifying,
because of what these criminals have done. So their sihr may be of two
types, one of which involves illusions and tricking the eyes, so that
they do not see things as they really are.
The other kind includes that which is called al-sarf and al-‘atf
(spells aimed at creating hatred or love), which is done by tying knots and
blowing on them, and using potions which they make by inspiration of the
shayaateen. This second kind may make a man love or hate his wife, or a
woman love or hate her husband. It may also affect a person’s
relationship with people other than his or her spouse. Hence Allaah has
commanded us to seek refuge with Him from the evil of those who blow onto
knots, and to seek refuge with Him from every evil.
TREATMENT
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 ” (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. [al-A’raaf 7:106-122]
Ayah 106 upto 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#8209;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.
TWO WAYS OF GETTING RID OF SIHR’
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. .
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.
Is there anything such as witch doctors? What should we do if someone
says “I don’t believe in magic” because “this is just an illusion.”
There are doctors who are also practitioners of witchcraft, who treat
people by means of seeking the help of the jinn. They claim to have
knowledge of the sickness with no need to identify it, and they prescribe
for the patient foods and drinks that bring him closer to his allies
among the devils. He may tell them to slaughter a pig whilst saying
“Bismillaah” over it, or to slaughter a permissible animal without saying
“Bismillaah”, or when saying the name of one of the devils.
This is kufr or disbelief in Allaah, and it is not permissible under
any circumstances to go to people like these. The hadd punishment for
these people is execution. It has been proven from three of the Sahaabah
(may Allaah be pleased with them) that the practitioners of witchcraft
are to be put to death.
Ahaadeeth demonstrate that it is forbidden to go to soothsayers,
fortune-tellers, witches and the like, and ask them questions and believe
them, and a warning is issued to those who do that. Community leaders and
those in positions of power and authority must forbid going to
fortune-tellers, soothsayers and the like, and not allow anyone who deals in
such things to operate in the marketplaces or elsewhere.
We ask Allaah the Most High, the All-Powerful, to teach us that which will benefit us, and to benefit us by that which we learn. May Allaah grant blessings and peace to our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions..
