The Ruling on Sorcery, Learning It, and Sorcery Channels

Question:
Do you have any words for us regarding the ruling on sorcery and the spread of channels and the like?

Answer:
Sorcery is disbelief (kufr). Allah the Exalted warned us against it. Learning it and teaching it is disbelief. Allah the Exalted said: This is because the Jews accused Sulayman of being a sorcerer. Allah denied that; He denied it of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "And Sulayman did not disbelieve," meaning he did not practice sorcery. This indicates that sorcery is disbelief, and disbelief is not befitting for the Prophets (peace be upon them). They taught it, so they disbelieved. This indicates that teaching sorcery is disbelief. The two angels said: Meaning, do not learn sorcery because it is disbelief. So sorcery is disbelief, whether learning it or teaching it.
Likewise, whoever is pleased with it or seeks it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So it is not permissible for a person to seek sorcery for treatment or to break sorcery, as some say. This is wrong; this is disbelief. It is not permissible for a person to commit disbelief in order to be treated. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
Sorcery is disbelief, so it is not permissible for a Muslim to learn it or teach it, nor is it permissible to be treated with it. It is not permissible to break sorcery with sorcery. Rather, sorcery is broken by ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) from the Qur'an, from the Sunnah, and from supplications, with humility before Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . And disbelief is the greatest of what is forbidden (haram); it is not permissible to be treated with it. It is not permissible to look at sorcery channels on television, because whoever looks at them and sits with them is as if he went to the sorcerers. He did not go to them with his legs, but he went to them by looking at them, attending them, and listening to the words of the sorcerers and the falsifiers. So the Muslim should keep away from these ugly channels and remove them from his house, and he should never look at them. Yes.
