Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the statement of the people of the Sunnah and the community that sorcery has a reality?

Answer:
That is, in reality. Sorcery is of two types: real sorcery and illusory sorcery. The Mu'tazilah do not accept real sorcery; they say it is merely illusory, not a reality. But the position of the people of the Sunnah and the community is that sorcery is of two types: real sorcery, which is made and performed through knots, breath, and other means; and illusory sorcery, which is the haze that appears over the eyes. They were made to see
to him from their magic that they were movingإِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَىٰ
[Taha 20:66]
. This is the illusory type. Yes.
