An aamil said that I am affected with sihr (jadoo).

Answer

Firstly understand that Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'aan Shareef regarding the efficacy/non-efficacy of sihr (jadoo/magic):

"They (the sihr practitioners) cannot harm anyone with their sihr except with the decree of Allah."

(Al-Baqarah, Aayat 102)

Sihr like all other aspects of creation can harm one only by the command of Allah Ta'ala. There are Angels always protecting people. Even the kuffaar are protected by Malaaikah. However, when Allah Ta'ala decrees a harm/ calamity of whatever kind to settle on a person, then in relation to that specific decree, the protective guard of the Angels is nullified.

A person affected with sihr should focus on Allah Ta'ala and understand that it is He Who has decreed this affliction and only He can eliminate it. Precisely for this reason will the prescription of even an expert aamil be ineffective just as the medical treatment of an expert physician will be ineffective and fail to cure because the sickness is by the decree of Allah Ta'ala. It will run its prescribed course. There are no accidents in the creation of Allah Ta'ala.

In almost all cases relative to people of our despicable kind, the efficiency of sihr is related to our sins. This is the cause and the fact which people are unable to understand. Once it is understood that the effects of the sihr are by the command of Allah Ta'ala, one should then adopt the prescription of Allah Ta'ala for the elimination of the sihr.

The prescription is Istighfaar and Taubah, abstention from sin -outer sins and inner sins (sins of the heart), reciting Aayatul Kursi, Surah Ikhlaas, Surah Falaq and Surah Naas in abundance, morning and evening, and to make fervent dua for aafiyat (protection against all harms). There is no need to resort to aamils/raaqis. Nowadays, almost all aamils are bogus. Their objective is monetary gain. They devise weird aabra cadaabra potions and prescriptions. One should not submit to such ridiculous, humiliating artifacts of witchcraft. Purify yourself, internally and externally from all sin and focus on Allah Ta'ala with Thikrullaah.

pleted four raka‟ts in Taraaweeh, and made Sajdah Sahw. What is the ruling?

A. Only two raka'ts Taraaweeh are valid. If he had sat in Tashahhud in the second raka't, all four raka'ts would have been valid.
