What is the religious ruling regarding a wife who sought the help of a sorcerer for treatment and pledged to repent?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Dealing with sorcerers and charlatans is forbidden (haram). The wife must seek forgiveness for this act, and she should not be punished as long as she is remorseful and repentant. The sorcerer's book must be destroyed by burning it, while taking into consideration any Quranic verses it may contain.
