Breaking sorcery with sorcery in cases of dire necessity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, Salih is asking. He says: In cases of dire necessity, forbidden things become permissible. He asks: Is it permissible in this case to break sorcery with sorcery?

Answer:
No, sorcery is disbelief (kufr), and it is not permissible to proceed to disbelief. He says this is a case of dire necessity. In the hadith:
Do not disbelieve in Allah, or do not associate partners with Allah, even if you are killed or burned.لا تكفر بالله أو لا تشرك بالله وإن قتلت أو حرقت،
Is it permissible for a person to become a disbeliever? Sorcery is disbelief. Is it permissible for a person to become a disbeliever and say this is a case of dire necessity? Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has made you independent of sorcery through permissible medicines.
Allah does not send down any disease, but He also sends down the cure for it.ما أنزل الله داء إلا أنزل له دواء
Sunan Ibn Majah 3438Sahih (Darussalam)
, He has given knowledge to those He has given knowledge, and He has kept it from those He has kept it from. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you,
