We said that the prayer of one who visits a fortune-teller and asks him is not accepted, so is it obligatory for him to pray?

The questioner : That is, his prayer is not accepted for forty days.
The Shaykh : However, he must pray.
The questioner : But he has to pray.
The Shaykh : He has to pray, and this is a negation of acceptance, not a negation of the worship itself; the act is sufficient. Therefore, the prayer of the man who visited the fortune-teller is not accepted. He must repeat the prayer after forty days have passed. What is it?
