Practicing sorcery and witchcraft is Islamically prohibited.

Suratul-Baqarah, Ayah 102 means, “Sulayman (Solomon) did not blaspheme. However, the devils blasphemed. They deemed the act of sorcery permissible and taught it to people.” As related by Muslim, the Prophet said, “'Avoid the seven destructive sins’. They said, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?'  He said, 'Associating partners with Allah (shirk), sorcery, …’”.
