Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man’s house was robbed, and they took money and gold from him. One of his neighbors offered to speak to a person who has a connection with sorcerers, so that they would return some of what was stolen from him. They do not want anything from him at all; it is just a favor, as they say. Is it permissible for him to accept this?
Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. This is not permissible. It is not permissible to resort to sorcerers. Nor is it permissible to ask them for anything. Nor to ask them about anything. And one should not believe them. For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 639Hasan (Darussalam). The fortune-teller includes the sorcerer. It includes the sorcerer. In fact, the sorcerer is more deserving of this and greater than the fortune-teller. So it is not permissible to go to sorcerers, nor to ask them about the stolen item, about the missing person, or for treatment from them, or anything else. This is not permissible. Yes.
