Question:
May Allah reward you. He asks: If a sorcerer is identified, should he be advised, or is his blood permissible to be shed? Knowing that he does not accept advice and causes harm to people?
Answer:
If a sorcerer is known and his sorcery is established against him, it is obligatory to refer him to the authority, the authority of the Muslims, for his execution and the application of the prescribed legal punishment, because the sorcerer is a disbeliever and he is commanded to be killed, just as the apostate and the disbeliever are killed. Therefore, it is not permissible to remain silent about him or leave him alone if it is possible for the authority of the Muslims to carry out the prescribed punishment against him. Yes.
