Reading the coffee cup
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people read the coffee cup and tell their companion about matters in the future. Is this sorcery and the like?
Answer:
This is from fortune-telling: reading coffee cups, reading palms, knowing about bad omens, and the like. All of this is fortune-telling. These people who perform these acts have no ability themselves, but it is the jinn who inform them and serve them so that they will disbelieve in Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This is fortune-telling, and they did not learn this from themselves, nor because of their righteousness, but rather they learned it because of their drawing near to the jinn and their obedience to them, so they served them. Allah the Exalted said: "Shall I inform you about whom the jinn descend? They descend upon every lying, sinful one. They eavesdrop, and most of them are liars." So these are agents of the jinn, those who read palms, or coffee cups, or the like. These are agents of the jinn and servants of the jinn, and they are disbelievers who seek help from the jinn. Therefore, do not believe them, and it is not permissible to ask them about anything. It is not permissible for a Muslim who believes in Allah and the Last Day to go to them, or to believe them, or to ask them. It is obligatory for Muslims to eliminate these people and purify the society from them. It is obligatory to deny their news and refute their arguments. It is not possible for him to inform about hidden things while he does not use the jinn from his head; there is nothing in his head. His head is like our heads; there is nothing in it. There is no doubt that the one who uses coffee cups, palms, and the like, and says he informs about the unseen, is a disbeliever without doubt. Whoever claims knowledge of the unseen is a disbeliever. This is one of the nullifiers of Islam: whoever claims any part of the knowledge of the unseen is a disbeliever. But know that he will not inform about this from himself, but rather he informs about it because of his agents from the jinn and the shayatin. You do not see them, but he deals with them.
