The Difference Between the Diviner, the Fortune-Teller, and the Sorcerer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the difference between the diviner and the fortune-teller? And is the one who goes to a sorcerer to have him cast a spell on his enemy declared a disbeliever?

Answer:
The diviner, the fortune-teller, and the sorcerer are all among the close friends of Satan, may Allah protect us from that. It is not permissible to go to them or ask them questions; it is not permissible to go to them or ask them questions. The term "diviner" is applied to the fortune-teller, specifically the fourth type. And sorcery is more severe than all of them, so it is not permissible to go to them, nor to ask them questions, nor to believe them.
