is it permissable to use witchcraft or black magic for good purposes or stuff like using to convince your parent about something?like marriage to someone?

Praise be to Allah.Witchcraft or magic is knowledge

that comes from the shayateen and is something that they do. Allaah

says (interpretation of the meaning):

“They

followed what the Shayaateen (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic)

in the lifetime of Sulaymaan. Sulaymaan did not disbelieve, but the

Shayaateen (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic [al-Baqarah

2:102]

“And

they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed they

knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter”

[al-Baqarah 2:102]

“and

the magician will never be successful, to whatever amount (of skill)

he may attain” [Ta-Ha 20:69]

The Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Avoid the seven sins

which doom a person to Hell.” They asked, “What are they?” He said,

“Associating anything in worship with Allaah (shirk);

witchcraft;…”

And the Prophet

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “He is not one of

us who practices witchcraft or has it done for him.”

On this basis, it is not permissible

to use witchcraft for any purpose whatsoever. Witchcraft or magic is

falsehood, and all kinds of falsehood are kufr and evildoing. Sin cannot

be a means of achieving something good. Beneficial things have to be

sought through the prescribed means which involve no sin and whose consequences

are safe. Allaah has given His slaves sufficient means in the things

that He has permitted them, so they have no need for the things that

He has forbidden. To Him be praise and thanks for His blessings.
