The statement of the author of al-Rawd: It is permissible to break sorcery with sorcery out of dire necessity

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the author of al-Rawd (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned at the end of the chapter on the rulings for the woman in the waiting period: “It is permissible to break sorcery with sorcery out of dire necessity.” Is this statement correct?

Answer:
No, this is an invalid statement; it is not correct. There is no evidence for this from the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), nor from the Qur'an, nor from the words of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). And there is no dire necessity here. Yes, dire necessity permits what is prohibited, but there is no dire necessity in this case. There is a treatment from what is permissible that suffices in place of sorcery, so this is not permissible. Yes, his saying “out of dire necessity” is deficient; it is not correct. Yes, meaning the treatment for sorcery does not depend on sorcery. Rather, it has a beneficial treatment, by the permission of Allah, that suffices in place of sorcery. Yes.
