Knowledge of the future
Question
My husband wants to open a poultry shop. Inform me if it will be in our favour or loss.
Answer
Only Allah Ta’ala has the knowledge of the future. It is not permissible to ask any person regarding the knowledge of the future.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
