Is it forbidden in Sharia to watch and follow the personality "Laila Abd Al-Latif," who presents future predictions, and to correspond with her to inquire about matters such as gold prices?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Predicting future events based on reading current reality and events is permissible and not considered claiming knowledge of the unseen. However, predictions based on astrology and divination are forbidden, and it is not permissible to follow, question, or believe astrologers and soothsayers. Whoever does so must repent. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever goes to a soothsayer or a diviner and believes what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him." Divination includes informing about the unseen through jinn, or informing about hidden earthly matters, or astrology. The Sacred Law has refuted all of these and prohibited believing in them.
