*Magic is Kufr*
Allah says in the Qu'ran:
*وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ ۚ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمُوا لَمَنِ اشْتَرَاهُ مَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ ۚ وَلَبِئْسَ مَا شَرَوْا بِهِ أَنْفُسَهُمْ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ*
_And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew._
-Sura Al-Baqarah, Ayah 102
_
Uqbah ibn Amir reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said:
_Whoever hangs an amulet around his neck, then Allah will not fulfill his wishes. Whoever hangs a seashell as a charm, then Allah will not leave him without penalty._
[Musnad Ahmad 16951, Grade: Sahih]
_
Imran ibn Hussein reported: _The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man wearing a brass ring, so he asked what it was. The man said, “It is protection from my arthritis.” The Prophet ﷺ said: "Remove it, for it will only increase your arthritis and if you were to die wearing it you would never be successful."_
[Musnad Ahmad 19498, Grade: Sahih]
_
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, _“Whoever ties a knot and blows on it has performed magic, and whoever performs magic has committed idolatry. Whoever hangs something as a charm will be entrusted to it.”_
[Sunan An-Nasa’i 4079]
In Surah Falaq we seek refuge from such magic as Allah says in the Qu'ran:
*وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ*
_“And from the evil of those who practise witchcraft when they blow in the knots”_
[al-Falaq 113:4]
_
Zainab reported: Abdullah ibn Mas’ud said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, _“Verily, spells, amulets, and charms are acts of idolatry.” I said, “Why do you say this? I swear by Allah that when my eye was twitching I would go to a Jewish man who would cast a spell on me and it would calm down. Abdullah said, “That was only the work of a devil poking at you with his hand and he would stop after the spell was uttered. Indeed, it enough for you to say as the Messenger of Allah said:_
*أَذْهِبْ الْبَأْسَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ اشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا*
_"Take away the pain, O Lord of mankind, and give healing for you are the healer. There is no healing but your healing, a healing that leaves no trace of illness.”_
[Sunan Abu Dawud 3883 Grade: Sahih]
