The Prophet (S.A.W.) said:

Prophet Muhammad), “The Salah (Prayer) of
whoever approaches a fortune-teller and
asks him about anything will not be accepted
for 40 days and nights.” (Saheeh Muslim)

The Prophet (S.A.W.) said:
Abu Hurayrah and al-hasan both reported
from the Prophet, (S.A.W.) that he said,
“Whosoever approaches a fortune-teller and

what was revealed to Muhammad.”

“Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with
God (Allah) alone. It is He who sends down
the rain and knows the contents of the
wombs. No one knows what he will earn
tomorrow nor which land he will die, but
God (Allah) is all-knowing and aware.”
Surah Luqman 31:34
“Say! I have no power to bring good to
myself nor avert harm but it is only as Allah
wills. If it were that I knew the unseen, I
would have multiplied the good and no evil
would have touched me.”
Surah Al-An’am 7:188
“With Him are the keys to the unseen, and
none knows except Him alone.”

knows the unseen except Allah.”
