The Ruling on Asking a Sorcerer and Returning to Him to Identify the Thief

The questioner:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on asking a sorcerer, even if one does not believe him?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to ask the questioner. I do not believe, and I do not ask. This is not permissible. You do not ask him except to take his answer or to be cautious. Also, you may be tested if you ask him. If you say at the outset that you do not believe, you will be tested. You want Allah the Exalted to make the sorcerer’s words have an effect on you, so stay away from the sorcerer.

The questioner:
And he says: Some people, if something is stolen from them, go to some people to contain the urine of the thief. Some of them say: If something is stolen from them.

The Shaykh:
If something is stolen from them.

The questioner:
He went to some people to have them determine the thief's urine.

The Shaykh:
How did that happen?

The questioner:
By sorcery, meaning by sorcery, perhaps. By sorcery. On the questioner himself, meaning.

The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.

The questioner:
The questioner says: Some people, if something is stolen from them, go to some people to contain the urine of the thief who stole the goods.

The Shaykh:
Who is it, who turns the street? I do not know.

The questioner:
The sorcerer performs the operation, and this is contained by the sorcerer, meaning he performs this work.

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to turn to sorcerers, nor to take the words of sorcerers, nor to use sorcery. Yes.
