Is it permissible to use a lizard by burning it, without eating it, as a cure for sorcery?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Using chameleons to treat sihr (sorcery/black magic) is impermissible and an act of sorcerers. It is not permissible to believe them or go to them. Burning it is absolutely impermissible, let alone for such a purpose.
