Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah. He asks: Is it permissible for one who practices sorcery and fortune-telling to lead the prayer?
Answer:
If it is established that he practices sorcery and fortune-telling, then it is not permissible for him to lead the prayer, because he is a disbeliever. The sorcerer is a disbeliever, and sorcery is disbelief in Allah, and fortune-telling is disbelief. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever goes toSunan Ibn Majah 639Hasan (Darussalam), Musnad Ahmad 657, 658Lts isnad is Da'if because Abu Muwarri’ is unknown], lts isnad is Da\'if because Abu Muwarri\' is unknown and it is repeat of previous report] (Darussalam), and the fortune-teller claims knowledge of the unseen. The fortune-teller is the one who informs about hidden matters, and the unseen belongs only to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So he claims to share with Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) in knowledge of the unseen, so he is a disbeliever.
