The Difference Between the Hadith “Whoever Comes to a Sorcerer or Diviner and Believes in Him Has Disbelieved in What Was Sent Down to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)” and the Hadith “No One Can Perform Sorcery Except a Sorcerer”

Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, we would like to know the difference between the two hadiths. The first is: “Whoever comes to a sorcerer or a diviner and believes in him has disbelieved in what was sent down to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).” The second is: “No one can perform sorcery except a sorcerer.” Then, the difference between them.

Answer:
No, no, until they issue it. Yes, “No one can perform sorcery except a sorcerer” is clear. Who can bind sorcery upon the one who has been bewitched except a sorcerer? This is the statement of al-Hasan al-Basri, that it is not possible to transfer sorcery except to the sorcerer who arranged it and knew it, its materials and he knew them, like the crafts. All the crafts, no one can fix a car except one who manufactures cars or knows their assembly. Likewise, sorcery. Yes.
