The Sorcerer's Repentance and the Ruling on Love Magic

The questioner:
The questioner asks: Does a sorcerer have a path to repentance?

The Shaykh:
As for repentance between him and Allah, if he repents between himself and Allah, his repentance is accepted. However, in terms of the legal ruling, he is executed even if his repentance is accepted. But as for what is between him and Allah, if he is sincere, Allah accepts his repentance.

The questioner:
And in the second part, he asks: What is the ruling on love magic? Because we have heard people say that if magic is used to bring a husband and wife closer together, it is permissible?

The Shaykh:
I seek refuge in Allah, we ask Allah for safety. All sorcery is forbidden, including the types known as al-sarf (diversion) and al-'utuf (attraction). One who is known for this deserves to be killed. We ask Allah for safety. As the Exalted and Majestic is He said regarding the sorcerers: and their families. The point is that this is among the greatest of sorcery, and may Allah protect us from it. It is obligatory that one who does this be killed by the one in authority if it is known that he does it.
