Question:
If the fortune-teller knows about future matters by seeking the help of the Shayatin (devils), does that mean the Shayatin (devils) know future matters?
Answer:
My brother, the fortune-tellers receive information from the Shaytan (devils). The Shaytan (devils) know what humans do not know. So they receive from them; they take their knowledge from the Shaytan (devils). And this is kufr (disbelief) against Allah the Exalted. The Shaytan (devils) are not to be taken as a source of knowledge, nor are they to be trusted; the people of faith do not trust them. Yes.
