The questioner : Regarding sorcery and charlatanism, they exist despite the high level of public awareness, and people still crawl under its burden and believe in it, especially those with weak minds. Is there any advice or guidance regarding this question?

The Shaykh : Yes, the advice is that we adhere to what the Prophetic Sunnah indicates, which came from the most merciful of creation to creation and the most knowledgeable of creation regarding what benefits creation, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fortune-telling and warned against visiting fortune-tellers, and he said: .
He forbade taking an omen as a bad sign, which is pessimism based on something seen or heard, or a time or place.
He forbade sorcery and said: All of this is so that people proceed in their lives with seriousness, not attaching themselves to created beings, and entrusting their affairs to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and so that their attachment is to Him alone, so that they may be guided and guiding in their conduct. And success is from Allah.

The questioner : May Allah bless you.
