Going to the Fortune-Teller and the Sorcerer and Believing in Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am a questioner from outside the Kingdom. If a man goes to a fortune-teller and believes him, does he commit major disbelief? Likewise, if a man goes to a sorcerer to have him perform sorcery on someone, does he commit major disbelief?
Answer:
The hadith is general.. This is the general ruling. We say: He has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. We will not say it is minor or major; we say what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding it. And it is not permissible to go to a sorcerer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) disavowed him.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
