Going to priests to treat diseases

Q 1: What is the Islamic ruling on seeking the help of Christian priests to treat cases of people suffering from excessive fear, or to read over a person or an animal bitten by a wild dog?

A: It is not permissible to seek treatment from Kafirs (disbelievers) except for medical matters, such as surgery and prescribing lawful medications. Nevertheless, treatment by reciting certain Du`a's (supplications) is impermissible, unless done by a faithful, committed Muslim of sound `Aqidah (creed).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
