The statement of one who claims that the sick person does not draw near to the jinn by going to the sorcerer

The questioner:
Our dear brothers, who says that the sick person who goes to the sorcerer draws near to the jinn, and that it is only the sorcerers who draw near to the jinn, while the sick person merely pays the money? What is your answer to him?

The Shaykh:
Glory be to Allah, he did not go to the sorcerer except while being pleased with his work, and knowing that he is performing sorcery for him, and being pleased with the sorcery. This person says he did not draw near to the jinn; his being pleased with the sorcery and hiring the sorcerer to perform sorcery for him is being pleased with the work of Shaytan.

The questioner:
I say, regarding the Shaykh’s case (may Allah preserve you).

The Shaykh:
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said And you say no, it is not the ruling of the sorcerer, so the authority is clear between the two: one who performs sorcery and one for whom sorcery is performed. Yes.
