The answer

Prohibiting paranormal games like astral projection, seance, and hypnotism, because they are acts of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance) and rely on claiming knowledge of the unseen and offering sacrifices to jinn, which may lead to kufr (disbelief). Some scholars have even ruled that whoever relies on these sorceries has committed kufr, but no specific individual is to be declared a disbeliever until proof is established against them, while bearing in mind that the fundamental principle is that a Muslim remains a Muslim unless proven otherwise with certainty.
