The Ruling on the Sorcerer and the Fortune-Teller and the Effect of His Repentance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Before the days of Tashriq, does the one who is a sorcerer or a poet also have dealings with him? He sings for him, so how does he deal with him? And I make what is in "he sings for him," and I make what is in "sin"
Answer:
As for the ruling, he has no repentance; he is killed in all cases if it is established that he is a sorcerer or a fortune-teller by his confession or by the testimony of clear evidence against him, the ruling is applied to him. Repentance is between him and Allah; if he is sincere, his matter is up to Allah the Exalted, but repentance does not drop the hadd (fixed punishment) from him. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
