The Firasah and Whether It Is Part of Fortune-Telling

Question:
The questioner asks: Is insight a form of fortune-telling?

Answer:
No, farasah (intuition) is not the prediction of fortune-tellers; farasah is prediction based on signs. The one who observes is the one who uses farasah regarding things. The qaffah (genealogists) know the traces; they know blood and similarities. This is from the Shari'ah-based farasah, and this is something Allah places in some people as keenness; Allah places it in some people. Yes.
