The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the meaning of the commentator's statement: "Just as the effect of sorcery is invalid"?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
What is the meaning of the commentator's statement: "Just as the effect of sorcery is invalid"?
The Shaykh:
Bring up the text before it so we can compare and see. A person should look at a thing or a phrase that does not conceal it and benefit from it, but rather looks at all the clothes, yes? Did you hear the phrases we want to confirm? Yes. And in the era of disagreement, meaning... Yes. So, what the believers count is the effect of some of the effect of some. It is clear now that the effect of sorcery is invalid, and likewise the effect of astrology is invalid, because it is a belief in other than Allah the Exalted and shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah. Just as sorcery is shirk, so is astrology. It has spread and is invalid. Yes.
