Saudi Arabia executes woman convicted of 'sorcery' / comment

Salamun Alaykum

The Quran recognizes magic as devil's scheme only when it is misused. It is a gross sin when people abuse such knowledge and apply it in any evil scheme.

[2:102] They pursued what the devils taught concerning Solomon's kingdom. Solomon, however, was not a disbeliever, but the devils were disbelievers. They taught the people sorcery, and that which was sent down through the two angels of Babel, Haroot and Maroot. These two did not divulge such knowledge without pointing out: "This is a test. You shall not abuse such knowledge." But the people used it in such evil schemes as the breaking up of marriages. They can never harm anyone against the will of GOD. They thus learn what hurts them, not what benefits them, and they know full well that whoever practices witchcraft will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable indeed is what they sell their souls for, if they only knew.

Clearly, the Quran never suggests killing such a person who commits sorcery. Undoubtedly, the Saudi Arabia violated Islamic ruling.

Thank you and may God guide me,
