Guidance for women who use sorcery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters says, may Allah bless you: Some women intentionally use sorcery for themselves or for others. What is your guidance, may Allah preserve you, for these women?
Answer:
Sorcery is disbelief. Learning it, teaching it, and practicing it—may Allah protect us from it. Whoever practices sorcery has committed shirk (associating partners with Allah). Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has ruled that the sorcerer is a disbeliever.
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:102] Thus, He named the teaching of sorcery as disbelief. The angels who teach sorcery do so as a trial and test, as stated in what Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: [Al-Baqarah 2:102] They warn them against disbelief, which indicates that sorcery is disbelief in its learning, teaching, and practice. It is a great harm, one of the major sins, and indeed one of the seven destructive sins. May Allah protect us from it. Yes.

Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels
وَلَٰكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ عَلَى الْمَلَكَيْنِBut the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve
وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ فِتْنَةٌ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ
