Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man was a sorcerer who gave people amulets and separated spouses, and he performed a great deal of sorcery. Now he has repented. Does he have a path to repentance?
Answer:
Yes. The door of repentance is open to everyone: the mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), the disbeliever, and the sorcerer—everyone. However, the hadd (fixed punishment) is not dropped from him if it is established against him, whether by his confession or by witnesses; in that case, the hadd is carried out against him. As for repentance, that is between him and Allah. If he is sincere, Allah will forgive him. If he is a liar, Allah knows his state. Yes.
