i would like information on majic (jadoo) what are the consequences and can people use it to kill people.
Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, there issihrthat can kill. When discussing different forms of murder the scholars have mentioned that the person who kills another by means of a kind ofsihrthat usually kills should be executed (qisaas– retaliation), because he has killed by means of something that usually kills. Ibn Qudaamah said inal-Mughni(9/330): “The sixth kind: if he killed him by means of a kind ofsihrthat 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 qisaas 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 thesaahir(practitioner ofsihr) inal-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah(24/267) says that in the case where he killed a person by means of hissihr… the majority say that killing by means ofsihrmay be done deliberately, in which caseqisaasis required. According to the Maalikis, evidence or a confession is required. According to the Shaafi’is, if the person whom the practitioner ofsihrkilled was his equal , then qisaas is required if the killing was deliberate, which may be proven by a confession on the part of thesaahir, such as his saying “I killed him by means of mysihr”, or “I killed him with this type of thing”, supported by the testimony of two reliable witnesses who have practisedsihrin the past but have now repented, who can confirm that this kind ofsihrusually kills. If it is a type that does not usually kill, then the matter is more akin to manslaughter.
And Allaah knows best.
