Spread awareness about this very important issue. Many people mistakenly seek help from people that make their problems worse! Magicians commit the highest level of Kufr (disbelief) and their aim is to ease you into it while you know not! Beware! Shirk is the gravest of sins and must educate ourselves to stay well clear of it.
Signs of A Sahir’s (magician’s) Work
If you find one of these following charcteristics in a person who treats people suffering from sihr or other relate illnesses, then this person is surely a sahir (magician).
1.) He asks the patient his and his mother’s names.
2.) He takes a sweaty garment from the patient (a piece of cloth, hat ect..)
3.) He sometimes asks for an animal, with certain specifications, in order to slaughter it without saying the name of Allah. He may use the sacrificial blood to stain some painful areas of the patient, or throw the carcass in on a ruined site.
4.) He writes incantations.
5.) He recites unclear incantations
6.) He gives the patient a hijab (incantation written on a piece of paper), which contains squares within which letters or figures are written.
7.) He instructs the patient to isolate himself/herself in a dark room and to not talk to people for a certain period of time.
