Breaking sorcery with sorcery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, or rather a group of questions, asks about the ruling on breaking sorcery with sorcery?
Answer:
O my brothers, this is a matter on which the Muslims are in agreement regarding the prohibition of sorcery and its practice, and the prohibition of going to sorcerers and soothsayers. The Muslims are in agreement on this. But Allah has made one of the students of knowledge issue a fatwa stating that it is permissible to go to sorcerers, and he bypassed the scholars and the people of knowledge. This is an error on his part. We ask Allah to guide him and return him to the truth, and that he not return to such fallacies. So the people of this land, with their scholars and students of knowledge, and Muslims in general, believe in refuting this statement and this fatwa. Yes.
