The answer

You should know that a father is keen on his son's best interests, and often his opinion is better for the son, even if the son dislikes it, for Allah says: "But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you" (Al-Baqarah: 216). Obedience to parents is obligatory, for the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "The pleasure of Allah is in the pleasure of the parents, and the displeasure of Allah is in the displeasure of the parents." Do not quickly reject the specialization your parents desire, as you might succeed in it. If you despair of success, try to gently persuade your parents.

As for contacting the person who claimed to have a complex and compounded job, it is not permissible to go to such people, for they are charlatans or sorcerers, and their words are worthless. If you experience symptoms of magic, you must perform ruqyah shariyyah (Islamic exorcism).
