Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah. There are those who claim knowledge of the laws of the religion, but they sit with those who practice sorcery, and those who claim knowledge of the occult, and they cast spells on people. What is your opinion of this behavior?
Answer:
He sits with sorcerers, goes to them, and feels comfortable with them. This is like him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever goes toSunan Ibn Majah 639Hasan (Darussalam) (peace and blessings be upon him), he cannot bear it, and this is from being pleased with Allah. It is an abomination. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said once: If one does not change an abomination Sunan an-Nasa'i 5008Sahih (Darussalam), his heart is not guided. If he rejects it, he does not sit with them, and he does not feel comfortable with them.
