The ruling on going to a sorcerer to break a spell
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the one who goes to the sorcerer will draw near to the Shi'ah. For those who draw near to the Shayatin (Satan) are the sorcerers, and the one who is merely a reciter for people, what is the ruling in that?
The Shaykh:
And glory be to Allah! The one who goes to the sorcerer and is pleased with his work, and gives him permission to perform sorcery for him, being pleased with the sorcery, this is what is meant by drawing near to the Shayatin (Satan). His being pleased with the sorcery and hiring the sorcerer to perform sorcery for him is being pleased with the work of Shaytan (Satan).
The questioner:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Hmm.
The Shaykh:
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said And you say no, he does not say to him that the sorcerer is the one who rules, so shirk (associating partners with Allah) is from both of them, whether he performed the sorcery or it was performed for him, yes,

It is not one of us the one who performs sorcery or has sorcery performed for him,
ليس منا من سحر أو سحر له،
