1 Visiting Aamils and fortune tellers Wed 18 Mar 2015

Many women frequent the Aamils, fortune tellers, etc. What is ruling in regards to such women?

One should keep distant from Ghair Maharim. Going to the fortune tellers and requesting them to inform you of the unseen are even dangerous. If there is a need to see an Aamil then one should visit him with one’s spouse or a Mahram brother, etc.

12 Works of Shakespeare in comparison to the Qur'an Tue 05 Mar 2019

The Quran says:

“Say, If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this

assistants." [Qur'an: 17:88]
