Q:
I wanted to ask about what is the punishment in the Hereafter for the
person who goes to a magician in order to make the magician cast a
spell on a victim. I know anyone who learns black magic is a mushrik
(polytheist) and has no link with Islam nor does he has any link with
the Hereafter. But, what about the punishment for a person in the
Hereafter, who goes to a magician in order to make him cast a spell any
kind of spell on a victim?
A: The hadith states that one
who goes to a magician in order to cast witchcraft on another, has
committed an act of kufr (disbelief). If that person dies without
taubah (repentance) and reverting back to Islam, then for him or
| her shall be the punishment
that Allah has promised for all those who leave the fold of Islam, and
that punishment is mentioned in Sura 2, verse 217: .. “Allah shall
destroy all their good deeds in this world and the hereafter, and they
shall enter hell fire to remain therein forever and forever”. In other
words, their punishment will be that of the kuffar (disbelievers).
And Allah Ta'aala knows best.
