Marriage to One Connected with Sorcery: A Clear Scholarly Warnin

A concise and decisive response from Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān regarding marriage to someone connected to the practice of sorcery.

Question

I wish to marry a Sunnī Salafī woman who claims that her father practises and engages in magic. What is your advice regarding this matter, and how should I interact with her father if I were to marry her?

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān (born 1354 AH / 1933 CE) replied:

Stay away from her. Stay away from her. Allah will provide you with someone else.
