Fortune telling

· 17 Rajab 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can the change in the position of the planets really affects one's fate? I have seen many of my non-Muslim friends prediction being accurate? How can a fortune teller be right?

Answer

No. This is kufr and polytheism.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
