Watching a video of voodoo

· 14 Muharram 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I would like to know if someone is scrolling on Twitter and comes across a video of voodoo and watches it out denounced it in his heart, is he still a Muslim?

Answer

It is haraam to watch these things. Through watching these things, one will be risking one's imaan. If one had watched these haraam movies, then one should make sincere tawbah and one should recite the kalima in abundance.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
