Question:
What is the ruling on using a science from the sciences of calculation that deals with matters that occurred in the past, to devise matters that may occur in the future, or to know matters that may occur in the future?
Answer:
This is not permissible. No one knows the unseen except Allah, and no one knows what will happen in the future except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The Muslim should rely on Allah, and whoever relies on Allah, He is sufficient for him. You have no need for these matters.[Al-Furqan 25:58] So you should rely on Allah and never be afraid. [At-Talaq 65:3]. Yes.

And rely upon the Ever-Living who does not die, and exalt [Allah] with His praise. And sufficient is He to be, with the sins of His servants, Acquainted -
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًاAnd whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him.
وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
