Question:
The one who fights against Allah and the one who cuts off the road, if they declare their repentance before being captured, are left alone. So, is the sorcerer not killed if he declares his repentance before being captured?
Answer:
The sorcerer is not to be trusted, even if he displays repentance, for the sorcery he possesses does not go away and his repentance is not accepted. This is different from the one who cuts off the road who repented before being captured; that is a different case. Yes.
