The Ruling on Going to a Fortune-Teller
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. We have what is called a fortune-teller, and some people go to him when they are afflicted with an illness. He tells them, "So-and-so has happened to you." What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
You have heard the ruling on that: this is sorcery and the work of Satan. It is not permissible to go to the fortune-teller who casts spells and informs about hidden things, illnesses, and the like. This is sorcery and shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It is not permissible to go to him; rather, it is obligatory to put an end to him and his fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
