The Ruling on Treating Sorcery with Sorcery

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on treating sorcery with sorcery?

Answer:
If it were permissible to treat with disbelief, then it would be permissible to treat with sorcery, because sorcery is disbelief. Allah the Exalted said: This is because the Jews accused Sulayman of practicing sorcery and of controlling the jinn through his sorcery. Allah denied that of him, saying, "And he did not practice sorcery." He said, "He did not disbelieve." This indicates that sorcery is disbelief. Allah’s description of sorcery with His words, "He did not disbelieve," is proof that sorcery is disbelief. Clearer than that is the case of the two angels: They do not disbelieve; they advise that Allah sent them down as a trial and a test. They advise those who come to them, saying, "Sorcery is disbelief, so do not disbelieve. Do not learn sorcery." So, is it permissible to treat with disbelief?
Allah the Exalted did not send down a disease without sending down a cure for it, which He made known to those who know it and unknown to those who do not. He never made disbelief a cure, nor did He make anything forbidden a cure. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, and it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
So, sorcery is disbelief, and it is not permissible to treat with disbelief. It is not merely forbidden; the forbidden is what is not permissible to treat with. So how can one treat with disbelief? Yes.
