Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are the sorcerers’ bloods considered worthless, and does any person have the right to strike the neck of a sorcerer with a sword if he gains control over him?
Answer:
No, that is chaos and is not permissible. The one who strikes his neck is the ruler, if it is established with him that he is a sorcerer. And if it is established with the ruler and he rules for his killing, the ruler kills him, or anyone kills him. Yes, this leads to widespread chaos. Yes.
