Question:
Now, the second question is about a sorcerer. That is, he performs acts by which he lures people of weak faith and weak character. But in my presence, he does not do these things. He says, "This is the son of a harlot." I do not know if he does not do them because... Thank you, Abu 'Umar. Thank you.
Answer:
If you have verified that this sorcerer is truly a sorcerer, and that he plays with people and corrupts their beliefs, then you are not permitted to remain silent. You must report him. Report him to the men of the Hisbah, the centers of the Commission, the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice, so that they can arrest him and take him into custody, or so that they can refer him to the authorities to apply the Islamic ruling against him. It is not permissible to leave him to run amok in the land, spreading corruption, corrupting people, and corrupting the beliefs of Muslims. Yes.
