Is burning a paper containing Quranic verses and talismans with the intention of treating a father from envy and witchcraft permissible or forbidden, and how can one respond to whoever suggested that?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The questioner's mother did well by refusing to deal with sorcerers and charlatans, because their request to send talismans is proof of their deception, and their assertion that what afflicted the questioner's father was magic and the evil eye is a shot in the dark and a means to entrap them. Therefore, one must avoid dealing with them. The presence of problems and illnesses does not necessarily mean they are due to magic, and a person's attribution of all misfortunes to magic and envy is a sign of helplessness and weak faith.
