The ruling on going to fortune-tellers and seeking treatment from them

Question:
He asks for permission, saying: Is it permissible for me to touch a fortune-teller or give him money, so that he submits to me, even if I do not believe him and there is no cause for his treatment? This is to treat a poor woman who has been suffering from her father for years, which consists of states of difference and psychological distress, along with states of regret and constant sadness, which has caused an intention to move away from the Fire and from Allah, and to control the nerves with the recitation of standing up during treatment or singing.

Answer:
It is not permissible to ask fortune-tellers, sorcerers, or magicians; it is not permissible to go to them, ask them, or seek treatment from them. This is a matter that is not permissible and is an error. As for treatment, praise be to Allah, Allah has not sent down a disease without sending down a cure for it. You must rely on Allah, increase in the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, increase in supplication, and use permissible medicines. As for forbidden medicines, shirk (associating partners with Allah) practices, magic, and going to fortune-tellers and sorcerers, this is absolutely and categorically not permissible, with no exception; it is never permissible. Not by telephone, nor by any other means. Yes.
