Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In his second-to-last question, he says: If a sorcerer is identified, is his blood permissible to be taken, or should he be advised to repent to Allah the Exalted?

Answer:
As for advising him and commanding him to repent, that is obligatory. As for killing him, that is for the ruling authority to handle. Yes.
