Answer:
It is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
Avoid the seven destructive sinsاجتنبوا السبع الموبقات
— meaning: the destructive ones — We said: What are they, O Messenger of Allah? He said:
To assign partner to Allah, magic, to kill a soul (man) which is prohibited by Allah except for which is due, to take usury, to consume the property of an orphan, to retreat on the day of the battleالشرك بالله، والسحر، وقتل النفس التي حرم الله إلا بالحق، وأكل الربا، وأكل مال اليتيم، والتولي يوم الزحف

Avoid the seven destructive sinsاجتنبوا السبع الموبقات
meaning: leave them and beware of them. Then he explained them, saying:
associating partners with Allahالشرك بالله
This is the greatest of sins; shirk is the greatest and most severe of them. Then
Sorceryالسحر
which is a type of shirk; because sorcery is reached through worshipping Shaytan and the jinn, and drawing near to them.
killing of one whom God has declared inviolate without a just causeوقتل النفس التي حرم الله إلا بالحق

meaning: accusing them of fornication. And likewise, accusing a chaste man is among the seven destructive sins. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you.
