Question:
Is sorcery treated with similar sorcery?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. It is treated with the Qur'an, permissible medicines, and supplication. As for sorcery, no. This is like what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when he was asked about al-nushrah:

It is from the work of Satan

هي من عمل الشيطان

Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 13:100
