Fatwa number ( 7766 ):
The question regarding visiting fortune-tellers.
A: It is forbidden to visit fortune-tellers for treatment and the like, even if the person believes that healing is in the hand of Allah and that what they do is a cause; due to the explicit and authentic evidence that has come regarding this. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
