Question:
What is the ruling on watching sorcerers and fortune-tellers on television without believing them, just to see how they speak? Does this fall under the hadithSunan an-Nasa'i 5669Da'if (Darussalam)
Answer:
If you believe them, you fall under the hadith. But if you do not believe them, you still commit a sin, and your prayer may not be accepted for forty days. Therefore, it is not permissible to watch these channels; rather, you must stay away from them. What makes you think that they will not affect you, that they will not... and that they will not turn you away from your religion? You are not immune to sin; you are not protected from it. You must stay away from them as much as possible, and keep them away from your home and your family. Yes.
