The Difference Between Farasah and Kahanah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is there a difference between farasah and kahanah?

Answer:
Yes, farasah is something Allah places in a person. As for kahanah, it is a claim to knowledge of the unseen. Claiming knowledge of the unseen is kufr (disbelief) and is not permissible. Yes.
