Q:
1. It has been confirmed from three authentic sources that my husband has sihr. As part of his treatment I must read Surah Baqarah daily for 40 days. Sometimes I play it on my laptop on days that I can't read. Is it jaiz (acceptable) to play in the house, office when no one is there on the same floor for protection? I heard that recitation of Surah Baqarah protects any home for 3 days from bad influences.
2. My husband naturally is resistant to treatment despite being incredibly religious himself. All the signs are there between us, his business, consistent thefts by employees and him not taking action. Is there anything else I can do apart from Surah Baqarah and Ruqyah Shariah?
3. My husbands shaikh insists that there is no such thing as sihr (though it was done on the Prophet) and doesn't advise seeking treatment because he believes no human being has such power over another, its impossible. He never advocates treatment. Isnt it haraam to consistently prevent someone from seeking treatment, also to openly disregard that sihr doesnt exist in todays day and age?
4. What is the reality regarding sihr and its effects, and what is correct treatment for sihr?
