Repentance of a Sorcerer: Is It Accepted?

Compiled by: Dr. Raza Abdullah Pasha (Hafidhahullah)

Can a Sorcerer Repent?

Scholars have differed on whether a sorcerer’s repentance is accepted. However, the preferred opinion is that repentance is permissible under specific conditions.

Conditions for a Sorcerer’s Repentance

To ensure genuine repentance, the following conditions must be met:

Feel Sincere Remorse: The sorcerer must deeply regret their sin and resolve never to engage in sorcery again.
Restore Justice: They must compensate for any harm or injustice caused by their actions.
Engage in Acts of Obedience: They should increase their worship and distance themselves from individuals aware of their past as a sorcerer.

By fulfilling these conditions, a sorcerer can seek forgiveness and mend their relationship with Allah (SWT).
