punishment of learning magic | sorcery meaning
Islam came to protect the people’s religion, themselves, money, honor, and minds, and made these five necessities the rules of creation in taking care of their interests and warding off their harms, so it forbade every attack on them, so disbelief and apostasy are forbidden for breaching the principle of religion, and unlawful killing of the soul is forbidden, and assault on money, honor and lineage is prohibited, and aggression is forbidden. On the minds of all kinds of sensual and moral intoxicants, and witchcraft did not come on one of these rules except and corrupt them, for witchcraft and disbelief are rarely separated, and witchcraft is a way to waste money and waste it, and it corrupts the offspring by separating the family bond, and it is an entrance to fornication and assault on symptoms. It is also a way to assassinate and obliterate minds, so it is not surprising that Islam and its people stand firmly against magic and its people, for it has forbidden its learning and its teaching, and required the magician to cease his magic, and establish the punishment on him to purify society from his evil and deceit, and forbade people to go to magicians and seek their help.
