Are these instructions and Ruqyah provided by the Shaykh – who knew prior things about the questioner – for the treatment of OCD and possession, which include the use of salt and fumigation, and the recitation of Quran in specific ways, in addition to a medical prescription for a bladder problem, contrary to Sharia? And is this Shaykh considered a sorcerer for seeking help from Jinn, and must his advice be followed, and is guiding others to him considered a sin?

One should not deal with Jinn or ask them questions, for it is akin to asking the dead, and it may lead to polytheism (Shirk). Ruqyah with the Quran is legislated, and bathing with water over which Quran has been recited is permissible. However, specifying certain numbers or times for Ruqyah is considered an additional innovation (bid'ah). As for using salt and roses in Ruqyah, there is no basis for it in the Sunnah. Scholars have differed regarding it, some permitting and others forbidding, but it is better to avoid it as a precaution. It is not advisable to direct others to a person whose matter is ambiguous; rather, one should direct them to trustworthy, legitimate practitioners of Ruqyah. The best way to expel devils is by reciting the Quran, especially Surat Al-Baqarah.
