The Ruling on Going to Fortune-Tellers for Treatment

Question:
What is your advice for a young man whose mother goes to fortune-tellers for treatment? When he advises her, she regrets it greatly, but when her illness becomes severe, she returns to this practice?

Answer:
It is not permissible to go to fortune-tellers. Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and believes what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). And there is no dire necessity, praise be to Allah. Allah has made us independent of permissible treatment in medicine and drugs, and He has made us independent of treatment through dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and He has made us independent through reciting the Qur'an and lawful supplications. Yes.
