Ruling on Treating Magic with Forbidden Means
Author: Dr. Rida Abdullah Pasha ḥafiẓahullāh
Question:
Is it permissible to treat magic with magic?
❖ Answer:
No,
It is not permissible to treat magic through magical means.
It is narrated from Sayyidunā Ibn Masʿūd رضي الله عنه:
“إن الله لم يجعل شفاءكم فيما حرم عليكم“
“Indeed, Allah has not placed your cure in that which He has made unlawful for you.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6/247–248)
Thus, seeking treatment for magic through impermissible methods, such as using magic itself, is strictly prohibited in Islam.
والله أعلم
