Statement on the Repentance of the Sorcerer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Does the sorcerer have a repentance?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, it is between him and Allah. Yes, at that level, no one prevents him from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). But we apply the apparent ruling to him; we apply the hadd (fixed punishment) to him, and we do not accept his repentance because we do not believe that he is being deceptive in his repentance. So we establish the hadd upon him. And if he is truthful in his repentance, it is between him and Allah, and Allah will accept it from him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
