What is the ruling on sharing a Facebook post that includes an oath by its owner that she is not a charlatan or sorceress, and asks people to choose a letter to receive a message from a beloved person within five minutes?
This statement falls under the claim of knowing the unseen (ghayb), and it is impermissible to disseminate it, due to its affirmation and propagation of the diviner's and sorcerer's charlatanry. Whoever believes this statement has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Whoever comes to a diviner or a soothsayer and believes him has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad." Everyone who claims knowledge of the unseen, whether through demonic revelation, omens, astrology, divination, or magic, is a soothsayer or a diviner. Whoever approaches them or believes them incurs the warning.
