Fortuneteller – Disbelief in Allah

July 30, 2025 Bismillah School Leave a comment

It has been reported by Imām Muslim in his Saheeh from some of the wives of the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) that he said: “Whoever comes to a fortune-teller and asks him regarding an affair, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days.”[mfn] Muslim, 2230.[/mfn]

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu ‘anhu) also narrated that the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever comes to a fortune-teller and believes in that which he says then he has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam).” [mfn]Reported by Abu Dāwud (3904) and authenticated by Sheikh al-Albāni in Saheeh ibn Mājah (522).[/mfn]

It is also reported from ‘Imrān bin Hussayn marfoo’an, i.e., it is considered as a saying of the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam), where he said: “He is not from us who seeks omens or has omens interpreted for him, or the one who practices fortune-telling or has his fortune told, or the one who practices magic or the one for whom magic is done. And whoever approaches a fortune-teller and believes in that which he has said, then he has disbelieved in that which was revealed upon Muhammad (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam).”[mfn]Reported by al-Bazzār with a good chain of narration, cited by al-Haythami in Majma’ az-Zawā’id (5/201). Graded saheeh by Al-Albani in Saheeh At-Targheeb (3041)[/mfn].

Imām at-Tabarāni also reported the above from the Hadeeth of ibn Abbās, in al-Awsat with a good chain of narration but without the saying, “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller…”

Imām al-Baghawi said in Sharh as-Sunnah (12/182), “The ‘Arrāf is the one who claims knowledge of the affairs by using preceding or impending signs and using them to point out the locations of stolen items. It is said that this person is a kāhin (soothsayer/fortune teller), and he is the one who informs regarding the hidden affairs that will occur in the future. It is also said that the kāhin is the one who informs regarding that which is in the hearts.”

Abul ‘Abbās ibn Taymiyyah said in Majmoo’ al Fatāwa (35/173), “The ‘Arrāf is another term used for the kāhin (soothsayer/fortune teller), and for the munajjim (astrologer), the rammāl (diviner) and others like them who claim knowledge of the unseen using these means.”

Ibn ‘Abbās said regarding those who write down the Abā Jād and those who look into the stars: “I do not believe that those who do this will have any share of reward with Allah.”[mfn]Reported by ‘Abdur Razzāq in his Musannaf (26/11, no. 19,805) and ibn Abi Shaybah in his Musannaf (5/240, no. 25,648).[/mfn]

The term mentioned in the hadith refers to a well-known practice during the era of ignorance, performed by the people of that time. This form of Al-Nushra(breaking a Spell with a similar spell) is indeed an act associated with Satan, making it impermissible.

The spell’s impact can only be nullified by the sorcerer who cast it. Seeking the assistance of sorcerers and consulting them is strictly forbidden. As the Prophet, peace be upon him, declared, “Whoever approaches a sorcerer and believes in what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad.”

Kitaab At-Tawheed, Chapter: 25 What has Been Said About An-Nushrah 1

It is reported on the authority of Jabir (ra ) that Allah’s Messenger (saas ) was asked about an-nushrah (Unbinding sorcery with a similar spell) -and he said: “It is one of the works of Satan.” (Narrated by Ahmad with a good Sanad and by Abu Dawood Who said: “Ahmad was asked about these matters and he answered that Ibn Mas’ood detested all such things.”)Who said: “Ahmad was asked about these matters and he answered that Ibn Mas’ood detested all such things.”) Because an-nushrah was one of the actions of the Jahiliyyah, and the Companions had no desire or liking for the Jahiliyyah or its deeds, they asked the Prophet (saas ) about an-nushrah. He (saas ) replied that it is one of the works of Satan, and it is well-known that Satan orders not except that which is corrupt and detestable to the Believer. As for that which is permissible and not from the works of Satan, there is ar-ruqyah, seeking refuge (with Allah swt ) and the use of all permissible medicines (i.e. those which do not contain forbidden substances such as alcohol, pig fat etc.) and the Hadith is not a forbiddance of these things.

Muhammad Ibn `Abdul Wahhaab said: “Ibn Al-Qayyim said: “An-Nushrah is counteracting the effects of magic and it consists of two kinds: 1. Counteracting magic with its like and this is the work of the devil. 2. An-Nushrah by means of ar-ruqyah, seeking refuge with Allah (swt ), permissible medicines and making supplications to Allah (swt ) – these are all permitted forms of an-nushrah. Important Note It might be said, with some justification, that these words of Ibn Al-Qayyim sum up the message of this chapter.
