Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We live in the lands of disbelief, and there are many sorcerers among us. He asks: What is the prescribed course of action regarding these people? And is it permissible for the Muslims there to kill them?

Answer:
No, only the rulers and those in authority may kill them. But protect yourselves from them by the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and by the morning and evening recitations. Also, stay away from them; do not mix with them and do not sit with them. Yes.
