Horoscopes, zodiac signs, reading fortune cookies




► "Is it okay if I just read the horoscope, but don't believe it?"
"Can I read the paper in my Fortune cookie?" ◄

Those who read a horoscope or visit a fortune-teller and believe them are guilty of kufr; if they do not believe them, their prayers will still not be accepted from them for 40 days.

Prophet (S) said “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and believes what he says, has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad.”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, classed as Saheeh)

He (S) also said, “Whoever goes to a fortune-teller and asks him about anything, his prayers will not be accepted for forty days.”
(Narrated by Muslim)

-->-- Asking a fortune-teller or soothsayer about anything is haraam, and that includes asking him about lost or stolen items, or asking him about a disease and the remedy for it. --<-- br="br">
The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas stated: "It is not permissible for you to go to him because he is a soothsayer, and it was narrated in a saheeh report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade going to soothsayers and their like, and asking them and believing them."
[Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (1/410)]

► Messenger of Allaah (S) said: “Whoever seeks knowledge from the stars is seeking one of the branches of witchcraft…”
(Abu Dawood; saheeh)

► The people asked the Prophet (S) about fortune-tellers, and he said: "They are nothing."They said: "O Messenger of Allah, they say things that come true.''
The Prophet (S) said: "The angels speak in the clouds about some matter
(decreed) on earth, and the Shayateen (devils) overhear what they say, so they tell it to the fortune-teller, gurgling into his ear like (a liquid poured) from a glass bottle, and he adds to it one hundred lies."
(Bukhari)
