Q
Why is it important to be cautious about the truthfulness of soothsayers’ claims in Islam?


A

Some people asked the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding the soothsayers. He said, “They are nothing.” They said, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Some of their talks come true.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “That word which happens to be
true is what a Jinn snatches away by stealth (from the Heaven) and pours it in the ears of his friend
(the foreteller) with a sound like the cackling of a hen. The soothsayers then mix with that word, one
hundred lies.”
