Defrauding people through illicit means such as magic or soothsaying is consuming wealth unlawfully and is forbidden by Islamic law. Giving charity or performing good deeds with ill-gotten gains is unacceptable, and the perpetrator will be burdened with sin, not rewarded. Whoever earns money in this manner must repent to Allah and seek a lawful livelihood. They must also dispose of the ill-gotten wealth by spending it on charitable causes, for the poor and the needy.
