Answer Details
Seeking assistance from fortune tellers is forbidden in Islam because it leads to ascribing absolute power to a fellow being. Muslims believe that only Allah has knowledge of the unseen, and seeking assistance from fortune tellers undermines this belief. Furthermore, fortune telling can lead to superstition, and may cause people to become overly reliant on something other than Allah for guidance and protection. Therefore, Islam strictly prohibits seeking assistance from fortune tellers or any other form of divination.
