The Ruling on Reading Horoscopes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, in her second question she says: What is the ruling on reading horoscopes, even if one does not believe in them?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a person to engage in reading horoscopes, because these horoscopes are sorcery and a claim to knowledge of the unseen. This is disbelief in Allah (Mighty and Majestic), which a Muslim does not accept. Therefore, it is not permissible for one who is not firmly established in knowledge to read these horoscopes. As for the scholar, he reads them in order to refute them and warn against them. As for the ignorant person, it is not permissible for him to read them, lest he be deceived by them and they have an effect on him. Yes.
