Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a question close to that one. He says: What is the ruling on one who uses sorcery for the sake of benefit, and not for the sake of harming between the spouses?
Answer:
As for what is in it of benefit, sorcery is forbidden and invalid, and it is from the work of the devils, so there is no benefit in it. Allah the Exalted says:[Taha 20:69] He says there is benefit in it, yes.
