IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE TO GO TO A PRACTITIONER OF WITCHCRAFT IN ORDER TO TREAT WITCHCRAFT (UNDO A SPELL). Praise be to Allaah. It is not permissible to treat witchcraft with witchcraft, rather witchcraft is to be treated by means of the Holy Qur’aan and du’aa’s that have been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and permissible remedies. As for witchcraft, it is kufr and apostasy, and puts one beyond the pale of Islam. It is not permissible to engage in it or to go to a practitioner of witchcraft seeking a cure. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about al- nashrah, which is undoing a spell or treating witchcraft. He said: “That is the work of the shaytaan.” Narrated by Abu Dawood. Ibn al-Qayyim said in Fataawa Imam al-Mufteen (p. 207, 208): Al-Nashrah means undoing a spell that has been cast, and is of two types: one of which is undoing the spell by means of another spell. This is the one that is the work of the shaytaan, because witchcraft is his work, so the one who does the nashrah and the one for whom it is done draw near to him by means of things that he likes, and so he cancels out what he did to the one on whom the spell was cast. The second type is nashrah by means of ruqyah, ta’awwudhaat (prayers seeking refuge with Allaah) and permissible du’aa’s and remedies. This is permissible and is in fact mustahabb. End quote. Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abd- Allaah ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about the ruling on treating witchcraft with witchcraft in cases of necessity. He replied: It is not permissible to treat witchcraft with witchcraft, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about nashrah (undoing spells) and he said: “It is the work of the shaytaan.” Nashrah (undoing spells) means treating witchcraft with witchcraft. And because undoing spells by means of witchcraft involves calling upon the jinn and seeking their help, and this is major shirk. Summarized...
