Answer:
To sit with sorcerers, go to them, and feel at ease with them is like them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 639Hasan (Darussalam) (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is not permissible, and this is approval of what is wrong. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 49a. And if he disapproves of it, he does not sit with them and does not feel at ease with them. Yes.

Answer:
To sit with sorcerers, go to them, and feel at ease with them is like them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
or who goes to a fortuneteller and believes what he says, he has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad.
كَاهِنًا فَصَدَّقَهُ بِمَا يَقُولُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍHe who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart
