Question:
He asks: Does sorcery, abandoning prayer, and prostrating to other than Allah not make one a disbeliever unless it is accompanied by belief?
Answer:
Who said this? The one who practices sorcery, prostrates to other than Allah, and slaughters for other than Allah is a disbeliever. We have only the outward appearance; we judge by the outward appearance. As for hearts, they are with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). We judge the one who commits shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief) as such, and we judge the one who practices sorcery as a disbeliever. We are not entrusted with the beliefs of hearts; rather, we are entrusted with applying the ruling to actions and words. Yes.
