I would like
information on majic (jadoo) what are the consequences and can people use it to
kill people.
Praise be to Allah.
Yes, there is sihr that can kill. When discussing different forms of murder the
scholars have mentioned that the person who kills another by means of a kind of
sihr that usually kills should be executed (qisas – retaliation), because he
has killed by means of something that usually kills. Ibn Qudamah said in
al-Mughni (9/330): “The sixth kind: if he killed him by means of a kind of sihr
that usually kills, then he has to be executed, because he has killed by means
of something that usually kills, like killing by use of a knife. If he killed
by means of something that does not usually kill or something that sometimes
kills and sometimes does not, then he has to pay diyah (blood-money), but
qisas is not required, because he intended to do harm, and it is akin to
beating someone with a stick (which may or may not kill).”
The ruling concerning the sahir (practitioner of sihr) in al-Mawsoo’ah
al-Fiqhiyyah (24/267) says that in the case where he killed a person by means
of his sihr… the majority say that killing by means of sihr may be done
deliberately, in which case qisas is required. According to the Malikis,
evidence or a confession is required. According to the Shafi’is, if the person
whom the practitioner of sihr killed was his equal , then qisas is required if
the killing was deliberate, which may be proven by a confession on the part of
the sahir, such as his saying “I killed him by means of my sihr”, or “I killed
him with this type of thing”, supported by the testimony of two reliable
witnesses who have practiced sihr in the past but have now repented, who can
confirm that this kind of sihr usually kills. If it is a type that does not
usually kill, then the matter is more akin to manslaughter.
And Allah knows best.
