Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah be pleased with you, if a person goes to a sorcerer to have sorcery removed from himself or from one of his children, does he become a disbeliever, or is he considered to have committed a major sin? This is haram (forbidden) without sorcery,
Answer:
Going there is haram (forbidden). If he believes the sorcerer or believes that sorcery is permissible, he becomes a disbeliever. If he believes that this sorcery is permissible, he becomes a disbeliever. However, if he merely goes there while believing that sorcery is haram (forbidden), and he acknowledges his mistake, that he is wrong, and that he is a sinner by going, then he is a sinner but it does not reach the level of disbelief.
