Prohibition of Going to Diviners

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. The questioner says: Many of the women among us go to the diviners, and we tell them that this is forbidden and disbelief in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), but that has not helped. What must we do? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Going to the diviners is invalid and wrong; because the diviner is the one who claims knowledge of the unseen. This may include the sorcerer and the soothsayer, and everyone who claims knowledge of the unseen and reports about hidden matters and the future. This is a false matter and disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
