The ruling on one who denies the existence of sorcery

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who denies the existence of sorcery?

Answer:
One who denies the existence of sorcery is denying Allah and His Messenger, and the consensus of the Muslims. Allah has informed us of the existence of sorcery, and the Messenger informed us of its existence, and He revealed the Qur'an regarding it: "And from the evil of the blowers in knots." The blowers in knots are the sorcerers. This is denying Allah and His Messenger and the consensus of the Muslims. The one who denies the existence of sorcery is denying it. As for the one who denies its effect and denies it, there is a possibility for that, but the one who says, "No, sorcery does not exist"—Allah the Exalted mentioned the sorcerers of the people of Pharaoh in the Qur'an; He mentioned this in the Qur'an. And He informed about the sorcerers who cast sorcery on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the two chapters of protection (al-Mu'awwidhatan). This person is denying what is in the Qur'an. We ask Allah for safety. Sorcery exists. Yes.
