Tier A • Direct Ruqyah (Quran/Sahih Hadith)
Prohibition of Sorcerers & Fortune Tellers
Explicitly established in Quran or Sahih Hadith as ruqyah/protection for this exact matter.
Visiting fortune-tellers, soothsayers, or spiritual charlatans for healing or breaking magic is a major sin. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever visits a diviner and asks him about anything, his prayers will not be accepted for forty nights' (Sahih Muslim 2230). Anyone asking for mother's names or writing symbols is a practitioner of falsehood.
Sahih Muslim Sahih
مَنْ أَتَى عَرَّافًا فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ، لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً
Translation (EN)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'He who visits a diviner/fortune-teller and asks him about anything, his prayer extending over forty nights will not be accepted.'
How to Perform / When to Recite
Firmly reject anyone who asks for parents' names, writes talismans, or claims secret knowledge of the unseen. Protect your home and soul with authentic Quranic recitation.
Important Safety Note: Ruqyah is a means of seeking Allah's protection and healing; it does not replace medical care. Never hang amulets or go to fortune-tellers/sorcerers.
