Is there repentance for the sorcerer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is there repentance for the sorcerer?
Answer:
By Allah, it is between him and Allah. Yes, if it is concealed and no one prevents him from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). But we apply the apparent ruling to him; we apply the hadd (fixed punishment) and do not accept his repentance, because we do not believe him; he deceives with his repentance. So we establish the hadd against him. And if he is sincere in his repentance, it is between him and Allah, and Allah will accept it from him. Yes.
