Question
Do I bear a sin for saying that I am bewitched and that so and so has bewitched me? It should be taken into consideration that all the symptoms of bewitchment are clear.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alyhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
If you are indeed bewitched, it is permissible for you to say that you are so, particularly before those from whom you seek help in removing this through Ruqyah (Quranic healing) or supplication. If you are not bewitched, you are not permitted to claim so because doing so would be considered a lie.
You are not permitted to accuse someone of bewitching you unless you have evidence. In principle, such a person is not held liable and accusing him without clear evidence is a great sin. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin.} [ Quran 33:58]
Allaah Knows best.
