Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee does not agree with spiritual surgery treatment. The reasons include no clear evidence of recognised expertise among practitioners, the use of jinn in the treatment, and uncertainty in the information given to patients due to contradictions between clinic blog statements and practitioners' interview answers. The treatment method also fails to meet required conditions and may cause slander, since male and female treatment areas are mixed without partitions, male practitioners touch female patients, and aurat is exposed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
