Summary
Using sorcery or the services of a sorcerer to force a seller to refund money already taken is forbidden. Sorcery is a major sin, and anything leading to it, including seeking help from soothsayers or shamans, is also prohibited. No justification permits it, so the matter should be resolved through discussion and reasonable dealing. Sellers are also required to be honest and must not take others' rights unjustly.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menggunakan sihir atau khidmat sihir untuk memaksa penjual refund semula duit yang telah diambil adalah perbuatan yang haram.
