Is it permissible for a Muslim to play the Ouija game, which relies on summoning spirits or jinn to answer players' questions by moving a circular piece over letters and words?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It appears that this practice is a type of conjuring and questioning of jinn, and using them, which is a form of sorcery. Rarely does its practitioner remain free from claiming knowledge of the unseen or fortune-telling. Therefore, you must stay away from it and warn your friends against it. Instead, dedicate your time and energies to what is beneficial, such as useful knowledge, righteous deeds, earning a livelihood, or engaging in sports.
