Explanation:
1:
The knowledge of the unseen (ilm al-ghayb) is exclusive to the Lord of all worlds (Rabb al-'alamin); to claim it is a grave sin.
Similarly, the wealth that soothsayers and astrologers obtain from the public through false means under the guise of such claims is also unlawful (haram).
