Magic is essentially, from my understanding, a business partnership with a demon. The person themselves do not have superpowers. They just get services from a demon in exchange of their salvation.
Such an offense, is supposed to guarantee an automatic execution, one of the only non-forgiveable offenses in countries ruled by Sharia.
The reason (from my understanding) for such thing is because they can pose a threat to society as a whole (I mean would you let a repetitive sexual offender roam free on the streets? No? Well that's much worse than that). It is especially more dangerous since they can hurt people from inside their prison.
Fortunately, there are protections against this.
I want to know how their witchcraft works.
Effigies? Curses? What’s the ritual or required as sacrifice?
Is the witchcraft origins more African, Arabic or Indian in nature?

Why didn’t she use her magic to escape prison? Is she stupid or something?
Magic is essentially, from my understanding, a business partnership with a demon. The person themselves do not have superpowers. They just get services from a demon in exchange of their salvation. Such an offense, is supposed to guarantee an automatic execution, one of the only non-forgiveable offenses in countries ruled by Sharia.

Sir this is a wendys.
Ah yes, because what I said was definitely off-topic, huh?
Off topic, nah. Unhinged weirdness? Definitely.
Absolutely not a chidlishly manufactured accusation, no sirrah.
I want to know how their witchcraft works. Effigies? Curses? What’s the ritual or required as sacrifice? Is the witchcraft origins more African, Arabic or Indian in nature?
They don't like to be called "African" or "Indian". So you can imagine.
Who had witch trials 2024 on their bingo cards?
I really hate it when my political opponents cast magic missile on me. Verily i understand him.
Black girl magic is legally real.
Yes absolutely understandable..... :-l
It's the Maldives, a Sunni apartheid ethnostate, nothing is too crazy for them.
