The answer

If a sorcerer repents with a sincere repentance that fulfills its conditions, then Allah accepts his repentance, just as He accepted the repentance of Pharaoh's sorcerers. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'" And based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin."
