The punishment of the magician
بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد
[Sharh Riyaadh al-Saaliheen (6/314) of Shaikh al-`Uthaymeen رحمه الله]
Shaikh al-`Uthaymeen رحمه
الله said:
“The magician should be killed, irrespective of whether he
repents or does not repent. This is because of the great harm he has done to
the people and the intensity of his boldness (in defying the commands of Allaah)
– and Allaah’s refuge is sought. That is why it came in a Hadeeth: “The
punishment of a magician is a strike with the sword”[1]”

the Companion Jundub bin Ka`b رضي الله عنه and
not as a statement of the Prophet صلى لله عليه وسلم. Al-Dha`eefah (1446).
