The Wada' and Taraf Game Attributed to Fatimah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is called al-taraf is widespread among the common people. They sometimes call it the game of Fatimah. (peace and blessings be upon him). The description of this is that the wada' and the right hand are placed on the surface of the liver. Then one looks at the ground, and there are people nearby watching the diviner and what he does. The diviner says, "This is for so-and-so, and this is for so-and-so, and it will become such-and-such." So is this act
Answer:
This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), is innocent of this ugly, vile act. This is claiming knowledge of the unseen, and it is among the beliefs of the Batiniyyah and the Fatimiyyah Shi'ah who attribute to Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) things from which she is innocent. Yes.
