The ruling on boycotting those who visit diviners and fortune-tellers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, does one who visits diviners and fortune-tellers get boycotted? If boycotting him does not benefit anything, what is the dealing with these types and others?

Answer:
We said: It is obligatory for Muslims that they do not approve of this plague. This plague among them is more severe than narcotics and diseases. Approving of these people and leaving them to work in society is more severe than leaving narcotics in society and leaving the plague without treatment and without precaution. So it is not permissible to keep them in society. As for the one who goes to them and is pleased with their action, he must also be boycotted. He is advised, saying: Do not go to them, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade going to them, threatened, and informed that it is disbelief. You do not go to them. If he does not accept, then he is boycotted, because he has become persistent in this. Yes.
