What is the ruling on offering advice to a woman who reads coffee cups and advertises herself in decadent magazines?
Divination, magic, and astrology are among the greatest evils, causing corruption on earth and harm to Muslims. Scholars have differed on whether a diviner commits an act of disbelief that expels one from the faith, or if it is a lesser form of disbelief. Indeed, whoever claims knowledge of the unseen has disbelieved. The woman who engages in this work must repent to Allah, as her action is among the grave, destructive sins and causes harm to Muslims. The advice of Sheikh Ibn Baz is to repent to Allah, rely on Him, and abandon these aforementioned matters, which are acts of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic ignorance) forbidden by Allah and His Messenger. The earnings a female diviner acquires from this work are unlawful.
