The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on reading the astrology written in newspapers and magazines?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. It must be prevented, and whoever does this must be punished, because it promotes shirk (associating partners with Allah) and promotes astrology. They intend this and sneak it onto the people. Even on some satellite channels, the astrologer comes and says, "I will make such and such happen," and they ask him, and he tells them, "You have luck, you are such and such, you have no luck." We ask Allah for safety.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
People say that Satan has not died. Yes, Satan has not died. So they promote evil and sneak it onto the people. Yes.
