Question 1 Report

Fortune telling is un-Islamic
Answer Details
In Islam, fortune telling is considered un-Islamic at all times and in all matters. This is because it involves claiming knowledge of the unseen, which is only known to Allah, the All-Knowing. It is also considered a form of shirk (associating partners with Allah) because it implies that the fortune-teller has knowledge and power that only Allah possesses. Therefore, it is not permissible to engage in fortune-telling, regardless of whether it is done by Muslims or non-Muslims, and regardless of whether it is related to religious practices or other matters. Islamic scriptures strongly forbid fortune telling, and Muslims are encouraged to seek knowledge and guidance from Allah through prayer, Quran, and seeking knowledge from trustworthy sources.
