Q: I do know that during the time of the prophet (s.a.w) there used to be something called jadoo ( black magic). However there is a person in Johannesburg whom I have been consulting with. He claims to have been given a gift and he can check whether something has been done on you or not. He also gives us some ilaaj, like some water to drink and burning of strings for a certain number of days.i would like to know if this is true? And should we continue with the ilaaj? He also gave us an indication of a person whose being committing this act of jadoo, as we should keep our distance. Should we believe him? Or is it just creating doubt within ones mind. Other members did consult him and have done his ilaaj. They seem to feel better with it. I am really confused. Please could you advise me.
