Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is a person held accountable if he practices sorcery and does not know that it is forbidden?
Answer:
How can he not know that it is forbidden when he reads the Qur'an and the hadiths? He does not know that it is forbidden, but even in general, he knows that it is forbidden from the texts. So no one is excused for this, and he hears the Qur'an or reads the Qur'an, hears the hadiths and the warnings against sorcery and sorcerers. Yes.
