Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the sorcerer killed in all cases, even if he is a beginner sorcerer? Then he says: And if you know that this sorcerer is one of my relatives, what do I do?
Answer:
The sorcerers are not killed except by the authorities; not everyone kills them. This is the exclusive jurisdiction of the one in authority. It is not permissible for anyone to say, "This is a sorcerer," and kill him. This is chaos. Nor does this address the issue of sorcery. It is the one in authority who stops people and holds them accountable if he intervenes in the matter. As for you, if you intervene in the matter, they will kill you and not your children. This is not permissible; it is chaos. Yes.
