Special provisions regarding the crime of witchcraft

Abstract

Magic is a social scourge that has plagued many societies throughout history. Evidence of its existence and its influence on bodies and minds is undeniable. Despite the significant scientific advancements of our time، which have overturned many concepts and revealed the scientific truths behind what was once considered mere sorcery and deception، many strange phenomena and extraordinary abilities possessed by some individuals remain difficult to understand or explain. This study aims to shed light on a topic that has been a hot topic for years. Hardly a day goes by without news of a suspected sorcerer being apprehended، magical talismans and writings being discovered، or a bewitched person being treated and having the spell broken.
