The answer

If the Raqi (exorcist/healer) performs (exorcism/healing) using the Holy Qur’an or understandable supplications free from (polytheism), then this is permissible. However, if he mixes the Qur’an with inserting a rod from one part of the body and exiting it from another without harming the patient, this is among the acts of sorcerers and magicians, known as "eye magic," where observers are made to imagine an event that did not occur. It is obligatory to avoid seeking treatment from anyone who performs such acts.
