Is sorcery imaginary, or is it real?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is sorcery merely imaginary, or is it real, such as the sorcerer being transported through the air and the like?

Answer:
Sorcery is of two types: real and imaginary. As for the Mu'tazilah and the rationalists, they say that there is no real sorcery, only imaginary, and this is wrong. Both exist: the imaginary and the real. Yes.
