What is the ruling on zina when sorcery is present, and on repentance from it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
What you have done by repenting is correct, and we ask Allah to grant you steadfastness. Among the means to achieve this is to hasten to marry, for it is the most beneficial way to keep oneself chaste from fornication. If you are unable to do so, then you must fast, engage in physically demanding tasks, associate with the righteous, and avoid evil and its people, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever can afford to marry, let him marry, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding the private parts. And whoever cannot afford to marry, let him fast, for it will be a restraint for him."
