حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ عُلَيَّةَ , عَنْ لَيْثٍ , عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ , عَنْ عَقَّارِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " مَنِ اكْتَوَى أَوِ اسْتَرْقَى , فَقَدْ بَرِئَ مِنَ التَّوَكُّلِ " .
´It was narrated from ‘Aqqar bin Al-Mughirah from his father that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:` “Whoever seeks treatment by cauterization, or with Ruqyah, then he had absolved himself of reliance upon Allah.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
In Arabia, certain illnesses were treated in such a way that an iron object would be heated in the fire until it became red-hot. Then, the hot iron would be applied to the affected part of the body, which would remove some of the effects of the illness. This is called cauterization.
(2)
As much as possible, one should avoid cauterization. When there is no other option left, then this treatment may also be used.
(3)
To identify animals, marks are made on their bodies using this method. This is permissible. However, branding the animal's face is prohibited.
