781 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ الْعَقَّارِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لَمْ يَتَوَكَّلْ مَنِ اسْتَرْقَي وَاكْتَوَي»
Aqar bin Mughira narrates from his father that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever practices ruqyah (spiritual healing), cauterization, or branding does not rely (on Allah)."

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.
