The scholars of knowledge mentioned that among the types of magic is that which does not involve the use of jinn. An example of this is the sorcerer taking a trace of the bewitched person, blowing on it, and tying knots, as mentioned in Surat Al-Falaq. The questioner is advised to dedicate their time and energy to studying the texts of the two revelations (Quran and ), Tawheed (monotheism), Fiqh (jurisprudence), (Prophet's biography), and language. These sciences are more worthy of study than other matters.
