Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on going to sorcerers and magicians and visiting them repeatedly?
Answer:
I ask Allah for well-being. This is not permissible. If a person goes to a sorcerer or a diviner and asks him about something and believes him,Musnad Ahmad 657, 658Lts isnad is Da'if because Abu Muwarri’ is unknown], lts isnad is Da\'if because Abu Muwarri\' is unknown and it is repeat of previous report] (Darussalam) then it is not permissible to go to sorcerers, nor to diviners, nor to those who claim knowledge of the unseen. Whoever goes to them is in great danger. How can a person waste his religion and his creed and go to these people? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade going to them, believing them, and frequenting them. Yes.
