The answer

Practicing magic is a grave sin, one of the seven destructive sins. One who practices magic should be advised to repent and warned of Allah's punishment, and it should be clarified that there are lawful means to protect the family. If he does not repent, he should be ostracized if there is a legitimate religious benefit in ostracizing him, such as deterring him and causing him to abandon his disobedience.
