?Is sihr (black magic) actually real, or is it superstition?
Sihr is real. Allah mentions it explicitly in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:102 and Surah Al-Falaq 113:4. But the same Qur'an binds it: "they could not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah" (وَمَا هُم بِضَآرِّينَ بِهِۦ مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ) [from Qur'an 2:102]. See the dedicated page on sihr.
?If sihr requires Allah's permission, why does Allah ever permit it?
Sihr, like every other test, comes within a wider plan that includes accountability for the magician, trial for the believer, and the believer's reward for patient tawakkul. The Qur'an does not promise a world without trial; it promises that the One in charge of the trial is the One who also gave you Surah Al-Falaq.
?How do I tell waswasah from a real jinn?
Most of what is called "jinn" is waswasah - intrusive thought that the shaytan injects, or that the nafs produces. The treatment is the same either way: la hawla wa la quwwata illa bi-Allah, the Mu'awwidhat, and continuing your routine without engaging the thought.
?Does ruqyah replace medicine?
No. The Prophet(ﷺ)recited and sought medicine. Sahih al-Bukhari 5678 records: "Allah has not sent down any disease without also sending down its treatment." Choosing one over the other is not from the religion.
?Can I do ruqyah on myself, or do I need a raqi?
You can. The Prophet(ﷺ)did so on himself nightly (Sahih al-Bukhari 5017). A raqi is sometimes useful for help and encouragement, but self-ruqyah is the Sunnah baseline.
?What about taweez and amulets, even ones with Qur'an in them?
Sunan Abi Dawud 3883 (graded Sahih by al-Albani) records the Prophet's warning: "Spells, amulets and love-charms are shirk." The strongest position is that no amulet should be hung, even one containing Qur'an. The Sunnah is to recite, not to enclose.
?How do I know if a raqi I am about to see is genuine?
Authentic raqis recite. Fake ones diagnose, ask for your mother's name, demand large fees, isolate you from family, or instruct you to act against the Sharia. See the fake raqi warning.
?I have already been to a fortune-teller. What do I do now?
Repent to Allah. Sahih Muslim 2230 warns that whoever visits a diviner and asks him anything has his prayer unaccepted for forty nights. The visit does not put you outside Islam unless you believed what was said. Renew your tawheed, return to salah.
