Is it permissible to seek treatment from a woman who claims she can cure diseases—except for hernias and congenital conditions—by passing her hand over the patient and reciting Surat Al-Ikhlas, claiming that Allah showed her the Kaaba, diseases, and their methods of treatment, and who says at the beginning of the first session, "Peace be upon you, my master, the spiritual light," and sometimes uses olive oil, knowing that she has cured hopeless cases, does not specify a fee for treatment, is veiled, prays, and has performed Hajj, and has a picture of a sheikh whom she says is the head of the Sufis and used to treat like her?

Keeping a picture of a sheikh who claims to be the head of the Sufis and is said to cure diseases does not necessarily indicate the righteousness of the woman; rather, it may point to corruption in belief and deviation in methodology. Sufism, especially in the modern era, contains deviations such as exaggeration regarding shaykhs and the worship of shrines, and this is considered shirk (polytheism). Keeping pictures is also not recommended. As for the cure of incurable diseases, it may be a karamah (a miracle performed by a saint) or istidraj (a deceptive sign given by God to lead a person astray). The difference between them is determined by the person's adherence to God's command or their deviation.
