The Ruling on Removing Sorcery with Similar Sorcery

Question:
Some students of knowledge issue a ruling that it is permissible to break sorcery with sorcery like it, and they discuss this, claiming that it is a permissible form of treatment.

Answer:
Yes, this has been raised many times before, even in these sessions, and we have answered it, as have others. This is a false statement that the scholars of the Kingdom have rejected, and scholars outside the Kingdom have rejected it as well. Praise be to Allah, this is a false statement; it is not valid, and it is not permissible to treat with sorcery, because sorcery is disbelief and shirk (associating partners with Allah). It is not permissible to treat with what is forbidden, let alone with shirk and disbelief, which is more severe. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is regarding the issue of treating sorcery; therefore, it is not permissible to deal with sorcery or practice it, neither for treatment nor for anything else. The ruling on this is wrong. The error in this has been clarified, praise be to Allah, and there is no longer any excuse for anyone who has heard the scholars' answers and their rejection of this ruling to accept it. Yes.
