The Ruling on Sorcery and Separating a Husband and Wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Its second section says:

Answer:
Yes. The legal ruling, in your view, regarding the practice of sorcery to separate a husband and wife. Sorcery is disbelief; learning it, teaching it, and practicing it are all forbidden. It is obligatory to warn against it, and it is obligatory to kill the sorcerer, as stated in the hadith: "The limit for the sorcerer is that he be struck with the sword."
This is because three of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) killed sorcerers: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, his daughter Hafsa, and Jundub ibn Kab (may Allah be pleased with them). As Imam Ahmad said, the killing of the sorcerer is established from three of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The sorcerer is a criminal and a corrupter in society. Sorcery is disbelief, whether in learning it, teaching it, or practicing it, whether for separating a husband and wife, or for bringing a husband and wife together, or for any other purpose. This is because sorcery is corruption on earth and widespread evil. It is obligatory to put an end to this crime and its practitioners to purify the society from it. Yes.
