Question:
If a sorcerer repents, does Allah accept his repentance?
Answer:
We do not intervene in Allah’s acceptance of his repentance; we do not know this. However, the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments) do not fall off him, and that is execution. He is executed in any case if the sorcery is established against him by confession or by witnesses who testify against him. If he repents, that is between him and Allah. Yes, we apply the hudud to him. If he repents, that is between him and Allah. We do not stand between him and Allah. Yes.
