Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First of all, it should be understood that black magic is a major sin and it is such a wretched act which would nullify one\u2019s beliefs. The reason for this is that for a person to perform such heinous acts, they are required to denounce their belief in All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101<\/em> and adopt the beliefs of the devils. Thus, taking them out of the fold of Isl\u0101m<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Messenger of All<\/em>\u0101<\/em>h<\/em> \ufdfa said: ‘Whoever ties a knot and blows on it, he has practised magic; and whoever practices magic, he has committed Shirk, and <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0whoever hangs up something (as an amulet) will be entrusted to it.\u201d [Sunan an-Nas<\/em>\u0101\u2019\u012b: Hadith 4079<\/em>] [1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prophet \ufdfa said: \u201cThere are three who will not enter paradise: one who is addicted to wine, one who breaks ties of relationship, and one who believes in magic<\/strong>.\u201d [Mishk<\/em>\u0101<\/em>t al-Mas<\/em>\u0101<\/em>b<\/em>\u012b<\/em>h: Hadith 3656<\/em>] [2]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Messenger of All<\/em>\u0101<\/em>h<\/em> \ufdfa commanded: \u201cAvoid the seven noxious things.\u201d It was asked: \u201cWhat are they, Messenger of All<\/em>\u0101<\/em>h<\/em>?\u201d He \ufdfa replied: \u201cAssociating anything with All<\/em>\u0101<\/em>h<\/em>, performing magic<\/strong>\u2026\u201d [S<\/em>\u0101h\u012bh al-<\/em>Muslim: Hadith 89<\/em>] [3]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All<\/em>\u0101<\/em>h’s<\/em> Messenger \ufdfa said: \u201cWhoever takes seven ‘Ajwa dates in the morning will not be affected by magic or poison on that day.\u201d [S<\/em>\u0101h\u012bh al-Bukh\u0101r\u012b: Hadith 5445, 5768, 5769, 5779; <\/em>S<\/em>\u0101h\u012bh al-Muslim: Hadith 2047; Sunan Ab\u012b D\u0101w\u016bd: Hadith 3876<\/em>] [4]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All\u0101h Ta\u2019\u0101l\u0101<\/em> says: \u201cO My servants who have transgressed against themselves (by sinning), do not become despondent in the mercy of All<\/em>\u0101<\/em>h<\/em>. Indeed, All<\/em>\u0101<\/em>h<\/em> forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.\u201d [Surah Az-Zumar; 39:53] [5]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only through sincere repentance and Taubah<\/em> can one truly atone for their sins. Sincere Taubah<\/em> wipes away our sins making us free from them.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three conditions for repenting;<\/span><\/p>\n
