The questioner:
Does a person become a disbeliever if he goes to a sorcerer and asks him to cast a spell on someone?
The Shaykh:
Yes, because he is satisfied with sorcery, because he is satisfied with sorcery and approves of it, so he becomes a disbeliever because of that, may Allah protect us from that. Also, along with his disbelief, he harms people and transgresses against them. Yes.
The questioner:
And likewise, what is the ruling if a person asks another person to go to a sorcerer to cast a spell on someone?
The Shaykh:
Likewise, all of it is the same; they are all partners in sin. Yes.
