Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Mention of one who seeks an omen.
Answer:
One who asks someone who practices taking omens to do so for him. This is pessimism about things, where he asks him to look into these things by which he takes omens to inform him about his future. This is disbelief in Allah the Exalted and seeking knowledge of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. The one who takes an omen and the one for whom an omen is taken are equal in this ruling, because the one for whom it is taken was pleased with this and believed in what was done, so he becomes like the one who performed the omen. Yes.
