Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on calling the sorcerers who appear on satellite channels, and that is in order to refute them?
Answer:
If it is good to refute them and he actually refutes them, if it is good to refute and he actually refutes them, then that is fine. But if he is just watching and does not know how to refute, then it is not permissible for him. This is like going to him. Whoever goes to a fortune-teller, his prayer is not accepted for forty days. And in the hadith:Sunan Ibn Majah 639Hasan (Darussalam) Whether he went to him on foot or went to him by watching the channel he is on, yes, he heard a statement or saw a statement, yes.
