The answer

Going to fortune-tellers and sorcerers is among the major sins. In the , it is stated: "Whoever goes to a diviner and asks him about something, his prayer will not be accepted for forty nights," and "Whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad." If the aunt has repented, it is not permissible to accuse her of ill-intention without clear proof. One should fortify oneself with the Quran and remembrances, observe the morning and evening adhkar, and perform (Islamic exorcism) for those who fear the evil eye, jinn possession, or magic. Marriage is a provision (from Allah), and it is sought through supplication and seeking help from close relatives to find spouses.
