What is the ruling of the Sharia on the subject of "bioenergy" and the peace sessions that some promote as a solution to problems?
"Bioenergy therapy is based on charlatanism, sorcery, and superstition, and has Buddhist origins. It includes pagan practices such as 'Reiki healing' and 'Qigong healing,' whose proponents claim they open channels of communication with cosmic energy and increase the body's strength and self-healing ability. Some of these deviant ideas have been 'Islamized,' with some claiming that Allah is energy, and they have introduced 'healing with the energy of the Divine Names' and other similar concepts, all of which are false ideas that contradict the fundamentals of Islam.
Furthermore, the individual known as 'Ahmed Emara' promotes explicit blasphemous ideas. He believes that knowing 'there is no god but Allah' is sufficient for entering Paradise without bearing witness to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He does not consider Jews and Christians disbelievers, claims that the Holy Quran has been distorted, asserts the existence of an ancient heavenly book called 'Al-Janzaria,' and claims that Buddha was a prophet. Therefore, it is not permissible to read his works or listen to him, except for those who wish to track his deviances in order to warn Muslims."
