On Friday, the Sharia Court called for his execution after considering the man a wizard and a sorcerer.
“An ISIS jihadist beheaded the elderly man in front of hundreds of people in the al-Hamam Square in Raqqa,” local media activist Khalid al-Omar told ARA News.
“The Sharia Court claimed that they’ve found tools and materials at the man’s house proving the allegation,” the source reported.

The group believes that magicians are “apostates” who oppose “the law of Allah”.
