A- Magic is Haraam and it is not allowed to perform it, nor is it allowed to learn
it or teach it. It is not permissible to go to magicians and the like.
<< They followed what the Shayateen (devils) gave out falsely of magic in the

Ayaah 102 from Sooratul Baqarah, the reasons for its revelation and the
strongest opinion regarding it.2

<< They followed what the Shayateen (devils) gave out falsely of magic in the lifetime of Sulayman. Sulayman
did not disbelieve, but the Shayateen disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that came down at
Babylon to the two angels, Haroot and Maroot, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) til
they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)." And from these
(angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus
harm anyone except by Allaah’s Leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And
indeed they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was
that for which they sold their own selves, if they but knew. >> Ayaah 102 from Sooratul Baqarah

Shaykh ‘Alee at-Tawayjari mentions: ‘All the different narrations mention that the Shayateen practised the
magic and that they lied and ascribed it to Sulayman –alayhi sallaam. He is free of that just as Allaah freed him of it
with what He revealed to His Messenger of the Ayaah which is mentioned.’ Reasons for its revelation p.57

the one who has had magic done to them, such that he will be cured by the

‘Whoever prays the Morning Prayer; then he is under the protection of Allaah,
so watch, O son of Aadam, so that nothing can take you away from Allaah’s
protection.’1
