وَلَا نُصَدِّقُ كَاهِنًا وَلَا عَرَّافًا
We do not affirm a soothsayer or diviner.
A soothsayer’s or diviner’s claim to hidden matters or future events is not evidence by itself. Guesswork, stellar associations, or unreliable hidden sources do not gain the authority of revelation.
A religious claim contrary to the Book, Sunnah, and sound consensual principles is not accepted. Popularity, an extraordinary story, or the claimant’s reputation is no substitute for that standard.
