Question:
He says that its meaning is that sorcery is a harmful science, purely harmful with no good in it. Are there any other harmful sciences from which one must guard oneself?
Answer:
All harmful sciences that interfere with the creed and diminish the creed must be avoided. But sorcery is disbelief, and its harm is the harm of disbelief and the corruption of the creed. There are harms less than that, there are harms less than that, such as the harm of intoxicants, which is less than sorcery. This is the harm of intoxicants, the harm of narcotics. This is a harm, but it is less than sorcery. It is a major sin, but it is less than sorcery. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
