Is it permissible to use witchcraft to achieve a good purpose?

Is it permissible to use witchcraft to achieve a good purpose?
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 Allaah. 

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.
