Is the book "Mujarrabat al-Dairabi al-Kabir" a book of sorcery, and what is the ruling on looking into it, keeping it at home, or gifting it? How should one dispose of it if it is sorcery, and is repentance obligatory for whoever has read it or acted upon the supplications contained within it?

The book "Fath al-Malik al-Majeed al-Mu'allaf li-Naf' al-'Abeed wa Qam' Kulli Jabbar 'Aneem," known as "Mujarrabat al-Dairabi" by its author Ahmad ibn 'Umar al-Dairabi, is a book about healing through remembrance (dhikr) and the Quran. It claims to compile benefits from various sources. However, upon examination, it became clear that it is full of superstitions and falsehoods that have no valid basis in the Qur'an or Sunnah.

The criticisms against it can be summarized as follows: 1. Claims of specific verses or invocations benefiting the cure of particular diseases without valid religious evidence. 2. Use of incomprehensible words that may contain false meanings or lead to polytheism. 3. Lack of mention of evidence or details regarding the mentioned "mujarrabat" (tried and tested remedies), making them mere unproven claims.

Therefore, this book is nothing but a book of superstition. It is not permissible to buy it, read it, or act upon its contents; rather, it should be destroyed. Scholars have issued fatwas (religious edicts) prohibiting the purchase of books that contain forbidden knowledge and misguidance. There are ample and rich books containing authentic supplications, such as "Al-Wabil al-Sayyib," "Al-Kalim al-Tayyib," and "Al-Adhkar."
