What is the Islamic legal ruling concerning a woman who was subjected to rape and defilement by a charlatan sheikh under the pretext of treating her with the Qur’an for jinn possession?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to continue treatment with a rāqī (exorcist/healer) who commits forbidden acts such as (private seclusion with a non-), because Allah has not made healing in that which He has forbidden. One must adhere to acts of obedience and distance oneself from sins. She should seek a trustworthy rāqī known for his righteousness, or treat her sister by reciting the Qur’an, making supplications (du'a), and giving charity (sadaqa).
