Is what the two men did—writing the name of Allah with musk on the hands and forehead, asking for it to be rubbed, sitting in a specific posture, reciting certain verses, sprinkling water, predicting the presence of angels around the questioner, stating that her provision would be doubled, warning her against a specific teacher, drawing her attention to her brother’s frequent singing in the bathroom, along with the accompanying loud sound of the bathroom fan—and then giving her water to drink and to anoint herself with, considered a valid Ruqyah (Islamic exorcism/healing) or not?
It is feared that this man may be one of those who deal with jinn and practice magic, especially if he utters incomprehensible words, or speaks of unseen matters such as the presence of angels around a person, or the multiplication of sustenance, as well as writing on the hand and forehead. All these matters necessitate caution. Self-ruqyah is advised, along with increasing supplications, remembrances, and recitation of the Qur'an, while not thinking ill of the mentioned female teacher.
