The Ruling on Going to Sorcerers and Believing Them

Question:
This questioner says: Four years ago, my wife fell ill, and I took her to some reciters. In the end, I took her to sorcerers. They mentioned some things that matched my wife's condition. Unfortunately, I believed them at that time. Praise be to Allah, He cured my wife of the illness. I realized that I had made a great mistake, so I repented to Allah, took a ritual bath, and renewed my testimony of faith. Do I owe an expiation?

Answer:
I hope you have done what is obligatory: you repented to Allah and sought His forgiveness when you realized your mistake. Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. However, we warn our brothers not to go to sorcerers, magicians, or fortune-tellers. We warn them against this so that they do not sell their religion.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller (peace and blessings be upon him). Whether he goes to him on foot or on a mount, or he sends his question to him via the media or means of communication, or he accepts the words of this fortune-teller, even if he did not go to him himself but asked them and took their answer, this is believing in the fortune-tellers, and the severe warning applies to him. The severe warning applies to him.
And in the other hadith in Sahih Muslim: “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller merely going. If he believes him, we ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
