When is the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) punishment carried out on a sorcerer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the hudud punishment carried out on a sorcerer if no one knows anything about him and he repents?

Answer:
The hudud punishment is not carried out on him except for one of two reasons: either by evidence that testifies against him, or by his own admission of it. Mere accusation is not enough. Yes.
