Is it permissible to say: “Allah did not permit sorcery”?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to say that Allah did not permit sorcery? Is this phrase permissible?

Answer:
Allah did not permit it in the Shari'ah. It is not permissible at all to say that. One should say: “Allah did not permit it at all.” No, Allah did not permit it in the Shari'ah, but He permitted it as a creation and by divine decree.
