Status of Body Talk

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askmufti.co.za

Q: I want to know if body talk is permissible in Islam. Body talk: the way of doing body talk is that they massage/press your finger tips and they tap on your neck with their fingers and by doing that they tell you all the problems that are on your mind. E.g.: a married lady went to them so they looked and touched her palm and they told her that her sister in-law is not in good terms with her.

A: This is akin to fortune-telling and palm reading, thus not permissible. It will be best to refrain from this.

Allah Ta’aala knows best.
