Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum.
The Messenger of Allah said, “He is not of us, the one who (looks for) evil omens, or the one on whose behalf they are sought (omens are signs, information, from the unseen used against people), or the one who practices soothsaying, or the one on whose behalf it is practiced; or the one who practices sorcery, or the one for whom sorcery is done (by Jinn or Human).” (At-Tabaranee)
The Prophet (saws) commanded: “Kill every sorcerer, for this is the punishment ordained by Allah.”
The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The punishment of the sahir is to strike him with the sword (to execute him).” When Hafsah Umm al-Mu’mineen (may Allah be pleased with her) found out that a slave woman of hers was dealing with sihr, she killed her.
This is the Shaariah ruling of Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Malik, and Imam Ahmad the founders of the Madhhabs in Islam, in all four madhhabs (schools of Law) including the Shafii Madhhab practicing Sihr is a capital punishment and one of the worst sins a person can commit on the same level with Kufr, leaving Islam, in fact Allah says many times in the Quran it is Kufr (2:102) and the person or jinn has left Islam.
Today I witnessed a conversation between a Jinn and the Mala’ikah, the female Jinn practiced sihr, I defeated her some months back after which I warned her how serious what she is playing with is, today Jinn practice Sihr so often they see it like a person sees a glass of water.
She came back today and whispered something next to me in the direction of the Mala’ikah and they responded with the Advice I gave her back then, the punishment for sihr isn’t just the death sentence, on every single act of sihr is a death sentence.
In the next life the saihr will see punishment equivalent to the death sentence on every act of shir they carried out, this punishment isn’t just for the sahir but for anyone who has sihr done for them, by either a human or Jinn.
Allah in a single verse (2:102) says Sihr is Disbelief (Kufr) multiple times to emphasis this point.
The person who practices dark magic and the person who has it practiced for him has left Islam:
“And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils (Jinn) disbelieved, (by) teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, “We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic].” And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them (the Sahir is in a state of loss in his life). But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased magic (practiced it or had it practiced for them) would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew (the extent of their loss in this life and the next).” (2:102)
The Loss Allah talks about in this life you see in your self as time goes by, practicing sihr changes you and your heart for the worst, and when you heart is gone who you are is gone, the Jinn have control over your nafs and you only see what they want you to see…How often young, dumb, women fall into this and eventually loose their purity and self.
