What is the ruling on one who goes to a fortune-teller and asks him, while not knowing the ruling on that matter?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on one who goes to a fortune-teller and asks him, while not knowing the ruling on that matter, meaning he is ignorant of the ruling in the issue?

The Shaykh:
Who is the one responsible, I mean?

The questioner:
The one who went to the fortune-teller, the questioner.

The Shaykh:
If he is ignorant of the ruling, he has to go and ask the people of knowledge. Repeat the question?

The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on one who goes to a fortune-teller and asks him?

The Shaykh:
A fortune-teller, yes.

The questioner:
On one who goes to a fortune-teller and asks him, while not knowing the ruling on that matter?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for him to go and ask the fortune-teller while he is a Muslim and knows that this is a fortune-teller. This is not permissible for him; his Islam prevents him from this.
