The Ruling on Sorcery and Witchcraft
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is it true that witchcraft is one of the types of sorcery, and that learning witchcraft is not disbelief?
Answer:
Sorcery is forbidden; it is all disbelief, in both of its categories, in both of its categories: imaginary sorcery, which is what is called witchcraft, and real sorcery. Both are disbelief. So this statement is not permissible. Sorcery is forbidden; it is all disbelief, whether it is witchcraft or real sorcery. Yes.
