The acts of sorcery, such as pulling a car with hair, and the signs of religious commitment

The questioner:
Peace be upon you. The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, you mentioned the day before yesterday in the open session that what some people do, such as pulling a car with hair or sleeping on sheets of nails with a car on top of them, and similar things, is from sorcery and from the craft of the sorcerers. But, Shaykh, we see young men who have the signs of commitment doing this in schools or summer centers. Is all of this from the known sorcery, since these matters have spread recently and are adopted by people or young men who have the signs of righteousness?

The Shaykh:
Yes, sorcerers may have beards and they may have appearances, and they are sorcerers. We take the lesson from the appearance? No, the lesson is not from the appearance. The lesson is from the belief and the action. It is not prevented that a sorcerer has a beard and a beautiful appearance; he can be a sorcerer. The lesson is from the action and the lesson is from the belief, not from the appearances.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: What is the ruling on image-making with machines in design?

The Shaykh:
Perhaps a person is upright and has religion, then he enters into sorcery and apostatizes from the religion of Islam, and his appearance is pleasing, yet he apostatizes for these matters.
