The Ruling on Using a Personality Analysis Device in Museums
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Two people traveled to one of the Arab countries, and in this country there is a tourist museum that contains some heritage. The two people visited this museum, and in the museum there is a computer labeled “Personality Analysis Device for Humans.” This works by paying a symbolic amount, and it asks the person who wants to know his personality for his name and his mother’s name, so that he places his right hand on a spot on the computer designated for placing the hand. Then, information is extracted from the computer from his mother’s name, his zodiac sign, his best days, whether this man is among the intelligent ones, and some information is recorded on a paper? The question is: What is the ruling on this act? Does this act fall under fortune-telling, divination, and sorcery? And what is obligatory upon these two people?
Answer:
The works of fortune-tellers and those who claim knowledge of the unseen are a Satanic act. It is not permissible for them to engage in this act, nor to approve of it, nor to be pleased with it, because this is the same as fortune-telling, it is the same as sorcery, it is the same as claiming knowledge of the unseen, and it is a Satanic act. Yes.
