The Visits of Those Suffering from Mental Illness to Fortune-Tellers and Diviners

Question:
Some people suffering from mental illnesses go to fortune-tellers and diviners?

Answer:
It is not permissible to go to fortune-tellers or diviners, nor to ask them about an illness, nor about anything else.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: on one occasion, and it was narrated as a year. And when he was asked about the diviners, he said: "Do not go to them. They are nothing." He forbade going to them and said: "Whoever goes to a diviner and believes in what he says has disbelieved." When Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He who divines, or has divination done for him, or practices sorcery, or has sorcery done for him, or is purified, or is disparaged, does not wish to be of us." This is a warning. So do not go to them, and do not ask them. Or they say: "Give us the woman's distress, give us her room, give us her private parts, give us your father's name, your mother's name, your father's name." These are diviners, or liars, or sorcerers who eat by falsehood. Either they are servants of the jinn and lie to people, or they want to deceive people so that they take their money without right. Medicine and treatment are to be sought from known doctors, or from people known for goodness among the Arabs who treat with cauterization, diet, and other known medicines, and who are not accused of speaking of the jinn, obeying the jinn, or the blackness of the jinn. There is no harm in this. The good is known to people, the good is known to people, and the trustworthy is known to people. Yes.
