Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the difference between the fortune-teller and the diviner?
Answer:
You know the fortune-teller; he is the one who informs about the unseen through the jinn, with the jinn descending upon him. The diviner is the one who claims to know matters by signs, by signs from which he deduces things through guesswork and conjecture, guesswork and conjecture. He may be correct in some rare instances and wrong in many of his intuitions; this is the diviner.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
