What is the ruling on a man who claims to know the thief by seeking the help of angels after reciting the Qur’an and supplications, claiming that what he does is not fortune-telling and that Ayat al-Kursi prevents devils from approaching him, and he takes money for that, so how can an argument be established against him and his fallacies be refuted?

This man's practice does not indicate the permissibility of his actions nor his truthfulness. Many sorcerers and diviners engage in acts of worship to deceive people. The man's claim that angels inform him of the location of stolen goods is incorrect. The guardian angels know what the children of Adam do to record it, not to inform others of it. What this man does is a form of forbidden divination, which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prohibited. Divination is knowing the location of stolen goods and the like through preliminary signs and causes. One should not be deceived by the diviner's recitation of the Quran, as it is a trick. Reciting Ayatul Kursi (the Verse of the Throne) expels devils if recited sincerely. The benefit of knowing the thief does not justify resorting to forbidden methods. The Sharia has clarified ways to achieve this without needing hidden methods. Not taking money does not change the ruling of the prohibition of divination. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade divination and did not resort to it.
