I was afflicted with sorcery by a sorcerer, and he has been identified, praise be to Allah. Is there any sin on me if I report him?

Question:
I and my family have been afflicted for many years by a sorcerer’s sorcery, and I am still affected by it to this day, until Allah revealed the matter to me. I place my reliance on Allah, as He the Exalted and Majestic said:
Is not Allah sufficient for His Servantأَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ
[Az-Zumar 39:36]
The question is: Is there a sin on me if I report this sorcerer, or will anything be diminished from my faith?

Answer:
First of all, not everything is sorcery; there are many illnesses. What afflicted you may be one of the illnesses, not sorcery. But if you are certain that it is sorcery and you know the sorcerer, and the sorcerer continues to cast spells on people, you must report him. However, if he has abandoned sorcery and repented from it, do not report him. And you should treat yourself with the Qur'an and the prescribed supplications. Yes.
