Question #1224:
Is it permissible to learn fortune telling, geomancy, jafr, and similar things which tell about the unseen?
Answer #1224:
Nowadays, people’s knowledge of these sciences cannot be relied on — with absolute certainty — in discovering the unseen. However, there is no harm in learning sciences like jafr and raml (geomancy) in the proper way provided that it does not lead to vileness.
