Does Allah Almighty forgive falling into minor shirk out of ignorance? And how does the questioner know that Allah has forgiven her? And did the words she repeated over the water – which were tranquility, adoration, and love, without spitting, knotting, or polytheistic words – have an effect on the drinker? And is it permissible for her to swear that she did not perform magic on that person?

The Mufti (definition) did not accuse the questioner of communicating with jinn; rather, he advised her to repent from reading articles that teach magic, based on her previous statement. The Mufti praised the questioner for her seeking forgiveness and remorse, emphasizing that Allah forgives sins through repentance, and that one ignorant of minor shirk (definition) is excused due to its subtlety. As for the words mentioned, they have no effect unless they involve seeking help from jinn or contain shirk-related blowing. The questioner is permitted to swear that she did not perform magic if she is truthful, and it is preferable to conceal sins.
