Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are in a country where sorcery is permitted, and these sorcerers are widespread. We want to eliminate them. He asks: How do we do that? Do we kill them in secret?

Answer:
No, do not kill them. You have no authority to kill them. This is in the hands of the ruler. But beware of their evil and stay away from them, and beware of their evil. Yes.
