Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person believes that there is someone who knows some of the unseen, is he considered a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) for this?
Answer:
He is considered a disbeliever, because whoever claims knowledge of the unseen is a disbeliever, and whoever believes him is also a disbeliever.[Al-Jinn 72:26-27]

عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٍ
