سُوۡرَةُ البَقَرَة
وَٱتَّبَعُواْ مَا تَتۡلُواْ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينُ عَلَىٰ مُلۡكِسُلَيۡمَـٰنَۖ وَمَا ڪَفَرَ سُلَيۡمَـٰنُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱلشَّيَـٰطِينَ كَفَرُواْيُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ ٱلسِّحۡرَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَى ٱلۡمَلَڪَيۡنِ بِبَابِلَهَـٰرُوتَ وَمَـٰرُوتَۚ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنۡ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَآإِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ فِتۡنَةٌ۬ فَلَا تَكۡفُرۡۖ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنۡهُمَا مَايُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِۦ بَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَرۡءِ وَزَوۡجِهِۦۚ وَمَا هُم بِضَآرِّينَ بِهِۦمِنۡ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمۡ وَلَايَنفَعُهُمۡۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمُواْ لَمَنِ ٱشۡتَرَٮٰهُ مَا لَهُ ۥ فِىٱلۡأَخِرَةِ مِنۡ خَلَـٰقٍ۬ۚ وَلَبِئۡسَ مَا شَرَوۡاْ بِهِۦۤ أَنفُسَهُمۡۚ لَوۡڪَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ (١٠٢)
Surah Al-Baqara
And follow that which the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind magic and that which was revealed to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut. Nor did they (the two angels) teach it to anyone till they had said: We are only a temptation,therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And from these two (angles) people learn that by which they cause division between man and wife; but they injure thereby no-one save by Allah's leave. And they learn that which harmeth them and profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but knew. (102)
Jabir (RadiyAllahu‘anhu) reported that the Prophet s.a.w. said:
“Iblis would lay his throne on water and would send his brigade of demons. The lowest among them in rank is the one who is most notorious in stirring up fitna. One of the demons would, after a mission,come and say to Iblis, ‘I have done so and so.’ Iblis would reply, ‘You have not done anything.’
Another one would come and say: ‘I have not left such and such person until I separated him from his wife.’ Iblis would come closer to his demon and say, ‘How good you are.’”
– (Muslim in An-Nawawi : 17/157)
Symptoms of Sihir of Separation:
a. A sudden change in attitude from love to hate.
b. Exaggerating the causes of disputes between two people, even though they may be trivial.
c. Changing the mental image that a woman may have of her husband, or changing the mental image that a man may have of his wife; so that the man would see his wife in an ugly way, even though she were beautiful. In reality, it is the demon who is entrusted with the task of performing this type of Sihir is the one who would appear to the husband in her person, but in an ugly way. By the same token, the woman would see her husband in a horrible way.
d. The person affected by Sihir hates anything the other party does.
e.The person affected by Sihir hates the place in which the other party stays. For instance, a husband may be in good mood when he is outdoors, but when he returns home, he feels quiete depressed.
According to Al-Hafidh Ibn Kathir, the cause of separation between two spouses through this Sihir is that each of them appears to the other as an ugly or ill-mannered person. – (Tafsir ibn Kathir: 1/144)
2. Sihir Al-Mahabbah/ At-Tiwala (Love).
Rasulullah s.a.w said:“Ar-ruqa, at-tama’im and at-tiwala are acts of shirik (polytheism).” – (Ahmad)(1/381)
According to Ibn Al-Athir,At-Tiwala is a type of Sihir which makes a man love his wife. The reason why this type of Sihir is classed by the Prophet (saw) as an act of polytheism is because those who have it done for them believe that it has an effect and does the opposite of what Allah (swt) has prescribed. – (An-Nihaya: 1/200)
I would like to emphasise that the ruqyah (treatment) referred to in the above hadith is the one which seeks the assistance of Jinn and devils and consists of acts classed as polytheistic. However, the ruqyah which is based on the Qur’an and lawful supplications of Allah is lawful, according to scholars. It is reported in Sahih Muslim that the Prophet s.a.w. was quoted as saying: “There is no harm in using ruqyah as a means of treatment provided it does not consist of anything polytheistic.”
3. Sihir At-Takhyil (False Appearance of Objects).
سُوۡرَةُ الاٴعرَاف
۞ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآإِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَلۡقِ عَصَاكَۖ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَأۡفِكُونَ (١١٧) فَوَقَعَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ (١١٨) فَغُلِبُواْ هُنَالِكَ وَٱنقَلَبُواْ صَـٰغِرِينَ (١١٩)وَأُلۡقِىَٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَـٰجِدِينَ (١٢٠) قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ (١٢١) رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَـٰرُونَ (١٢٢)
Surah Al-Araf
And We inspired Moses(saying): Throw thy staff! And lo! it swallowed up their lying show. (117) Thus was the Truth vindicated and that which they were doing was made vain. (118) Thus were they there defeated and brought low. (119) And the wizards fell down prostrate, (120) Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,(121) The Lord of Moses and Aaron. (122)
Symptoms
a. A fixed object would appear to be mobile, while a mobile object would appear to be fixed for the viewer.
b. A small object would appear large, while a large object would appear small for the viewer.
c. The false appearance of objects: Under the effect of the magic of Pharaoh’s sorcerers,ropes and rods appeared to viewers as real snakes.
4. Sihir Al-Junoon (Becoming Insane).
Kharija Ibn Salat reported that his paternal uncle went to the Prophet s.a.w. and declared his conversion to Islam. On his way back, his uncle passed by a people who had fettered a lunatic in chains.
They said: “We were told that your companion (the Prophet s.a.w.) has brought good with him. Do you have anything with which to cure our lunatic?”
I recited al-Fatihah (the opening chapter of Qur’an) and he was cured. They gave me one hundred sheep and then approached the Prophet s.a.w. to inform him of it.
He asked: “Did you say anything other than this?”
I replied: “No.”
He said: “Take it,for by my life, some would accept in return for a false Ruqyah, but you have done this with a genuine one.”
According to another narration, “the man cured him by reciting al-Fatihah for three days, day and night; whenever he finished reciting it, he would gather his saliva and spit.”
Symptoms
a. Severe absent mindedness and forgetfulness
b. Confused speech
c. Bulging eyes and deviation of sight
d. Restlessness
e. Inability to do a task regularly
f. Disinterest in one’s appearance
g. ln severe cases,one can tell from a lunatic’s face that he does know where he is going, and he would probably sleep in derelict places.
5. Sihir Al-Khumul (Lethargy).
How this happens.
A saahir(sorcerer/sorceress) would send a Jinn to the targeted person, instructing him to settle in his brain and make him introverted and lonely. The Jinn would do his best to carry out the mission, and the symptoms of this Sihir would appear,according to the strength and weakness of the Jinn entrusted with the task.
Symptoms of sihir Al-Khumul (Lethargy).
a. Love of seclusion
b. Absolute introversion
c. Constant silence
d. Anti-sociability
e. Absent mindedness
f. Frequent headaches
g. Quietness and constant lethargy.
6. Sihir Al-Hawatif (Bad Dreams & Hearing Voices).
Symptoms
a. The patient experiences nightmares
b. The patient sees in a dream as if someone were calling him
c. The patient hears voices talking to him when awake, but cannot see where these voices are coming from
d. The patient hears much whispering (Al-Waswas)
e. The patient is very suspicious of his/her friends and relatives
f. The patient dreams of seeing himself/herself falling from a high place
g. The patient dreams of seeing himself/herself being chased by animals.
7. Sihir Al-Marad (Illness).
Symptoms.
a. Constant pain in one part of the body
b. Epilepsy
c. Paralysis of one area of the patient’s body
d. Total paralysis of the body
e. Disability in of one of the sense organs.
8. Sihir An-Nazif (Bleeding Following Menses).
How it is achieved.
This type of Sihir affects women only. A saahir sends a Jinn to the targeted woman and instructs him to cause her to bleed. To do so, the Jinn enters the woman’s body and circulates in her veins and arteries with the blood. This notion of circulation has long been warned about by the Prophet s.a.w. in the following tradition: “Shaytan circulates in man’s body like blood.” – (Al-Bukhari: Fath Al-Bari: 4/282)
When the Jinn reaches a known vein in the woman’s womb, he stomps it so that the vein bleeds. This fact was also pointed out by the Prophet s.a.w. when Hamna bint Jahsh asked his opinion on the issue of bleeding outside the period of menses, and he said: “Such bleeding is but one of Shaytan’s stomping.” – (At-Tirmidhi)
According to another tradition, the bleeding “is the result of Shaytan’s stomping on a vein rather than from a normal menses.” – (Ahmad and An-Nasai)
Therefore, according to both traditions, a menstruation that occurs outside its normal period is one of the Shaytan’s stomps on one of the womb’s veins.
According to scholars of Fiqh (jurisprudence), an-nazif refers to al-istihadha (continuous menstruation), and according to doctors, it refers to bleeding.
According to IbnAl-Athir, al-istihadha means bleeding following a normal menses. This bleeding may last for months, and the amount of blood could be little or large.
9. Sihir of Impeding Marriage.
The Jinn has two options.
a. If he can enter the girl, then he would cause her to feel uncomfortable with any prospective husband and; thus, turn him down.
b. If he cannot enter the girl, then he would use the Sihir of imagination, from outside. As a result, a suitor would see the girl in an ugly image under the effect of the inn’s whispering, and so would the girl.
Under the effect of this Sihir and under the Jinn is whispering, a suitor, who would have initially agreed to the marriage, would decline after a few days, without any valid reason.
In cases of a strong Sihir, a suitor would, upon entering the house of his prospective wife, feel very uncomfortable and see darkness before him as if he were in prison, and so would never return. During the period of this Sihir, the Jinn may cause the girl to experience occasional headaches.
Symptoms.
a. Occasional headaches, which persist despite medication
b. Severe tightness in the chest, especially between al-’asr and midnight
c. The patient sees the suitor in an ugly image
d. Absent mindedness
e. Anxiety during sleep
f. Occasional constant stomach-aches
g. Pain in the lower part of the back.
10. Sihir regarding Sexual Intimacy.
Al Sihir Ar-rabt (Penile Erection Problem during intercourse), Al- ‘ajz al-jinsi (impotence) and Adh-dhu’f al-jinsi (sexual weakness).
Ar-RabtAl-’ajzal-jinsi (sexual inability / impotence):
The man affected by this type of Sihir feels active and energetic about having sexual intercourse with his wife. His penis is even erected as long as he is distant from his wife. Nevertheless, as he approaches her, his penis shrinks and is unable to have sexual intercourse. It means a man’s inability to have sexual intercourse with his wife, whether he is distant from or near her, as his penis cannot erect.
Adh-du’f al-jinsi sexual weakness):
A man can only have sexual intercourse with his wife after long periods. Sexual intercourse takes place for only a short time; after which the penis looses its rigidity.
Ar-Rabt in Women (sexual frigidity)
Just as a man suffers from ar-rabt (penile erection failure) and is unable to have sexual intercourse with his wife, a woman, too, may suffer from ar-rabt (frigidity).
There are some types of rabt in women:
a. Rabtal-man’(obstruction): It occurs when a woman prevents her husband from having sexual intercourse with her by tightly joining her legs together and obstructing his penis from entering into her vagina. This reaction is automatic and beyond her control, but one young man whose wife was affected by this type of Sihir ,criticised his wife for her response, so she explained that it was beyond her control.
One day, she told him to put iron shackles between her legs to keep them apart before, starting sexual intercourse. He did that, but it was to no avail. Alternatively, she told him to give her a drug injection if he wants to have sexual intercourse with her. It worked, but only one partner benefited.
b. Rabt at-taballud (lack of sexual feeling): The Jinn entrusted with the mission of Sihir settles in the centre of sexual feeling in the woman’s brain and causes her to lose her sexual feeling, at the moment of sexual intercourse with her husband. As a result, she feels no sexual pleasure and does not respond to her husband. Her body becomes numb even if her husband does what he wishes with her. In this type of Sihir, the glands do not release the fluid which lubricates the vagina, and therefore, the sexual act cannot be achieved.
c. Rabt An-nazif (bleeding at the time of sexual intercourse): This is different from Sihir an-nazif in one aspect. While, rabt An-nazif is confined to the time of sexual intercourse, Sihir an-nazif may last for several days. In this type of Sihir,the Jinn causes heavy bleeding to the targeted woman at the time of sexual intercourse with her husband, and thus prevents the man from having sexual intercourse with his wife. One day, one man, who was a soldier, told me that whenever he came home for holidays, his wife would bleed as soon as he arrived home. The bleeding would last for the holiday period which was approximately five days, but would stop as soon as he went back to work.
