What is the ruling on one who follows satellite channels specialized in teaching sorcery?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on one who follows satellite channels specialized in teaching sorcery?

Answer:
If he is pleased with it and approves of it, he is a disbeliever, because sorcery is disbelief, and so is learning it, teaching it, and being pleased with it. It is not permissible for a person to follow them or look at them, except in the case where he intends to refute them and demonstrate their invalidity, or to write to the authorities to ban them, if his looking at them is for the purpose of denouncing them and working to prevent them; in that case, there is no harm. However, if he looks at them merely to be informed or admires them, his ruling is the ruling of the sorcerers. Yes.
