Is it permissible to use an injection of Ruqyah-infused olive oil in the uterus to treat uterine black magic (Sihr al-Arham), and is the inner part of the vagina impure?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The inside of the womb is pure, and what comes out of it is pure, unless there is evidence to indicate its impurity, such as menstrual blood. A menstruating woman is permitted to use water and oil over which Quran has been recited, because these do not carry the sanctity of the Holy Quran; rather, they are the effects of the reciter's breath. If the reciter is trustworthy and righteous, then there is no objection to what he has said. It is important to emphasize to the mother to prioritize the known, legitimate Ruqyah (Islamic incantations).
