Should a Sorcerer from the People of the Book Be Killed Similar to a Muslim Sorcerer?
Answer:- Imam Malik (رحمه الله) stated:
"If the sorcerer does not harm Muslims, he should not be killed."
[Ahkam al-Qur’an by al-Jassas, 1/42] - Imam al-Shafi'i (رحمه الله) said:
"He will not be killed merely due to his practice of sorcery." - Imam Ahmad (رحمه الله) said:
"He will be declared a disbeliever due to his sorcery. Whether he is killed or not depends on the ruling, but he will certainly be classified as a disbeliever."
