Question:
Is every sorcerer a disbeliever?
Answer:
It is known that a sorcerer engages in the worship of the jinn. Therefore, sorcery that involves worshipping other than Allah is disbelief, as He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [Surat al-Baqarah:102]. Thus, sorcerers are disbelievers because they worship by calling upon the jinn and seeking aid from the jinn.
As for when it is something else that people engage in, such as medicines or other things that have no connection to the jinn and no calling upon other than Allah; this is called sorcery, it is called harm, it is called injustice, and the like of that, but it is not called sorcery.
