What is the ruling on watching a series with a character who has the ability to see the future, and loving this character and their ability, while believing that it is not real? Is it considered disbelief not to despise the vision of the future in the series, or is believing that it is not real sufficient to remove disbelief?

Claiming to see what will happen in the future is a form of sorcery (كهانة), and it is forbidden to go to those who practice it, or to act out its roles, or to watch such dramatic portrayals. Watching these series is not disbelief (kufr) in itself, but it is not permissible to love their characters; rather, one must despise them and despise their actions. Denouncing evil in the heart is an obligation upon every accountable individual, and it means disliking the sin. Some may consider abandoning the denunciation of evil in the heart as disbelief, while others hold that if it stems from desire and not from a belief in the permissibility of the evil, then it is an act of transgression (fisq) and not disbelief.
