Is the hudud punishment dropped from the sorcerer if he repents?

Question:
This questioner, may Allah reward you. Peace be upon you. He asks: Is the repentance of a sorcerer accepted, or must the hadd (fixed punishment) be carried out against him?

Answer:
If a sorcerer repents, the hadd is not dropped from him, because the hadd is not dropped. Therefore, the hadd for sorcery, which is execution, is carried out against him. As for what is between him and Allah, if his repentance is sincere, then Allah accepts it and forgives him. As for us, we carry out the hadd against him, and the hadd is not dropped. Yes. The second aspect: they mentioned that if a sorcerer displays repentance, he is not sincere. The general rule is that he is not sincere, because he is a zindiq (heretic). And if a zindiq displays repentance, he is lying. Yes.
