The ruling on going to a sorcerer to break a spell

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah do you good, what is the ruling on going to the sorcerer to break the spell?

Answer:
It is not permissible to go to the sorcerer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him questions and believes what he says,
then he has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad.فقد كفر بما أنزل على محمد
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 135Hasan (Darussalam)
" and the fortune-teller includes the sorcerer; indeed, the sorcerer is more severe than the fortune-teller. When he was asked about the fortune-tellers, he said: "Do not go to them." He said: "Do not go to them."
If one does not go to the fortune-tellers, and whoever goes to them and believes them has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad, then what about the sorcerer?!
The sorcerer is more severe, and may Allah protect us. Also, sorcery is disbelief; sorcery is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not treat yourselves with what is forbidden. Treat yourselves, O servants of Allah, but do not treat yourselves with what is forbidden." It is not permissible to treat oneself with what is forbidden, and sorcery is among the most severe of the forbidden things.
