The question

What is Islam's stance on profiling studies that rely on mathematical equations to predict the probability of future conjectures occurring, taking into consideration that only Allah knows the unseen, and that the occurrence of some of these predictions does not mean an endorsement of truth or knowledge of the unseen?

The answer

The phrase "The astrologers have lied, even if they spoke the truth" is correct, and the occasional occurrence of what a predictor foretells does not mean the truthfulness of his prophecy, but rather its agreement with reality at certain times. As for the law or typological studies mentioned, we have no knowledge of them. We also warn that the person named Adnan Ibrahim is not someone whose words can be relied upon.
