Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the questioner from outside this country says: In our country, there are sorcerers who harm people, and the government there does not implement the hudud against them. Is it permissible to kill them secretly or by assassination if it is likely that no greater harm will result?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. It is not permissible for a person to kill without authority. There must be authority to regulate matters and prevent chaos. Yes.
