What is the ruling on one who swears falsely while fasting and on a Friday, and what is the destiny of one who deals with magic, opposes the Ahl al-Bayt, and refuses to leave?
Sorcery is disbelief, and its practitioner is a disbeliever whose destiny is Hellfire if he does not repent, as indicated by the verse: {And they followed what the devils recited during the reign of Solomon. And Solomon did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic} [Al-Baqarah: 102]. The punishment for a sorcerer is execution, and only the ruler can carry it out. One must be cautious about accusing anyone of sorcery because it is an accusation of disbelief, and the states: "Any man who says to his brother, 'O disbeliever,' one of them will have committed it." Swearing a false oath is forbidden and considered a 'ghamus' oath (a plunging oath that immerses one in sin), and its prohibition is even greater during virtuous times. Removing a female relative from the house is permissible if she causes harm, but it is better to forgive and respond to ill-treatment with kindness.
