Questions on the Explanation of the Book of Nullifiers of Islam

Question:
Some people say that one of the treatments for breaking the sorcery of *sarf* is for the man to divorce his wife with a single divorce, and then, by the permission of Allah, the sorcery is broken, and then he takes her back. Is this action permissible? Does it have any basis in the Shari'ah? And what do you advise, Honorable Shaykh?

Answer:
This is the opinion of the common people; this is the opinion of the common people. The scholars of knowledge have not said this, and it is not correct. The solution to sorcery is not divorce; the solution to sorcery is the Shari'ah treatment, not divorce. Divorce is not a solution, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) hates divorce. Allah hates divorce except when there is a need for it, such as the incompatibility of the couple or the lack of harmony between the spouses. As for divorcing her for the sake of treatment, I do not know anyone among the scholars of knowledge who said this; rather, this is widespread among the common people.
