The ruling on praying behind one who believes that some humans know the unseen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to pray behind a person who believes that there are humans who know the unseen, and is his slaughter permissible to eat? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
One who believes that there is someone in this world who knows the unseen is a disbeliever. His slaughter is not permissible to eat, one does not pray behind him, and it is not permissible for him to be an imam. Knowledge of the unseen is known only by Allah; there is no one in this world who knows the unseen, and no one knows the unseen except Allah. Allah the Exalted said:
Say, "None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allahقُلْ لا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
[Surat al-Naml: 65], so knowledge of the unseen belongs to Him (Exalted and Majestic is He), and neither the prophets nor anyone else knows it. Therefore, the one who believes that there is someone in this world who knows the unseen, whether jinn or human, is a liar and a disbeliever—may Allah protect us from that—and he must repent to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
