What is the ruling on taking a good omen from the words of fortune-tellers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a believing person, if he hears a fortune-teller saying something, to say to himself that perhaps some of this speech is true, and would this be considered taking a good omen?

Answer:
This is a deception spread among the people. One does not say this, nor does one listen to the fortune-teller. Yes.
