Question:
A person claims to practice sorcery, but he is a lying false messiah who knows nothing about it; he only says this to plunder people's money. Is he considered a disbeliever because of this claim?

Answer:
He is a liar. If he believes that sorcery is permissible and uses it, then he is a disbeliever. Yes.
