The ruling on visiting fortune-tellers and following channels that broadcast such matters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I hope you will answer regarding the legal ruling on one who goes to fortune-tellers and diviners and believes their words. Does this include one who searches for and follows satellite channels that broadcast such things?
Answer:
Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 639Hasan (Darussalam) (peace and blessings be upon him). It was narrated by the people of the Sunan. So the one who believes them, who claims knowledge of the unseen, is a disbeliever, may Allah protect us from that, just like them. And the one who watches the channels has a share of that, because if he is pleased with this, if he is pleased with this and considers it a permissible matter, and that it is an art, and he is delighted by it, his ruling is their ruling, because he did not denounce the evil, but rather he approved of it.
