Types of sorcery and that it is shirk (associating partners with Allah)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Are there types of sorcery that do not constitute major shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Answer:
What does not occur? Sorcery does not occur except through shirk (associating partners with Allah), because it is not achieved except by seeking the aid of the jinn. Sorcery is not achieved; they know
but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magicوَلَٰكِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ كَفَرُوا يُعَلِّمُونَ النَّاسَ السِّحْرَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:102]
that sorcery is taught by the jinn. There is nothing in it that is kufr (disbelief). If anyone says that, whoever says this is mistaken. Yes.
