The Ruling on Dealing with Sorcerers and Charlatans
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, we have a relative who deals with sorcerers and charlatans. We have advised them regarding the prohibition of that, but they did not respond. What is the ruling on us leaving them?
Answer:
Advising them is sufficient. It is obligatory for you to report them to the authorities. If there is no authority that enforces the ruling of Allah upon them, then stay away from them and boycott them after advising them. Boycott them, stay away from them, and warn against them. Warn the Muslims against them. Yes.
