The question

Are games that rely on personality analysis and guessing future traits through specific choices, such as colors, animals, or paths, considered a form of divination, fortune-telling, or soothsaying, and does it entail the non-acceptance of prayers for forty days, even if the person knows that they are not real and are merely philosophical, and that knowledge of the unseen belongs solely to Allah Almighty?

The answer

It is not permissible to use personality analysis games unless they are based on scientific foundations. Anything based on charlatanism and divination is not permissible to deal with. Whoever comes to a soothsayer and believes him, his prayers will not be accepted for forty days. However, he should not abandon prayer; rather, he should pray, but his prayers will be without reward. His repentance will be accepted by Allah, God willing.
