How can sprinkled magic be treated, and what is the difference between a raqi (exorcist) and a charlatan, and is it permissible for ruqyah (exorcism) to involve wrapping a cloth printed with Quranic verses around the abdomen, and how can one prevent recurring magic?

Treatment for sorcery is through ruqyah and supplications authentically reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, along with reliance on Allah and seeking refuge in Him. The distinction between a legitimate reciter (raqi) and a charlatan has been clarified in a previous fatwa. Seeking healing by writing Quranic verses and tying them to the stomach is among the forms of amulets about which there is disagreement, and it is safer to avoid them. Protection from sorcery is achieved through constant remembrance of Allah, reliance on Him, and supplicating Him for protection and well-being.
