What is your view on Ratheeb where people can cut themselves whislt making zikr and they dont get cut or hurt

Answer

Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has prohibited us from cutting and mutilating the human body. Nevertheless, the object of Dhikr is not to get into such a condition where you begin to do unnatural things, but it is a means of gaining proximity of Allah Ta?ala and earning his mercy.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
