The Ruling on Breaking Sorcery with Sorcery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Benefits from the explanation of the book *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim li-Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim* by Ibn Taymiyyah. May Allah reward you. Shaykh, who is it that says it is permissible to break sorcery with sorcery?
Answer:
This is an invalid matter; because Allah has forbidden sorcery, whether learning it or teaching it, with an absolute prohibition, and He did not exclude anything from that. So whoever specifies that the one who treats [people] with sorcery is permitted to do so, he has contradicted what the Book and the Sunnah indicate, without any evidence to rely upon.
