Eradicating Sorcerers and Fortune-Tellers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Your Eminence the Shaykh! Sorcery and fortune-tellers have become widespread recently, so how can these people be eradicated? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Yes. Repeat it, repeat it.

He says: Your Eminence the Shaykh! Sorcery and fortune-tellers have become widespread recently, so how can these people be eradicated? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Their case should be referred to the authorities and the courts. Students and Muslims should cooperate; if they know of a fortune-teller, a sorcerer, a diviner, or a practitioner of sorcery who displays closeness to the jinn and sorcery, they should refer his case to the courts, the authorities, and the local emirates until judgment is passed on them and the command of Allah and the ruling of Allah are carried out against them. They should not be lenient with them or make concessions, but rather it is obligatory to track them down and report them, because their harm is great. Therefore, it is obligatory to be diligent in reporting them until the command of Allah is established against them.
