What is the ruling on following and watching astrologers, even without believing in them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden to watch and follow the works and predictions of astrologers, because Islamic law has prohibited believing them or approaching them except to denounce them, due to the danger of believing their falsehoods and the public being influenced by them. Therefore, it is obligatory to stay away from their channels and warn against them.
