Will the repentance of a woman who bewitched her husband to return to her, after he married another, be accepted?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Sorcery is among the heinous sins and one of the seven destructive sins. It is impermissible for a Muslim to learn it, teach it, use it, or go to sorcerers. The woman sinned by striving to cause the divorce of her sister, which is forbidden by Islamic law. As for her repentance, its door is open, for repentance erases what came before it. Its conditions are: immediately ceasing the sin, regretting the past, and resolving not to return to it in the future. She should also increase in good deeds, and part of the completeness of her repentance is to suggest to her husband that he take back the other wife.
