- I recently heard in a lecture that a person that engages in fortune telling , their salaah will not be accepted for forty days… My concern and confusion is that some molanas often give u advice by looking into the Qur’an and seeing if something is good for u . Example a friend of mine got proposed, her parents went to a moulana to “see” if the guy was compatible. The moulana looked into the Qur’an and told her parents That if they marry thier daughter off to that guy then their marriage will not last , they will get divorced. My question Is , firstly how does the moulana see into the Qur’an and can tell what will happen in the future ? Isn’t it fortune telling? Secondly ,what if a couple is compatible with things being positive after istikaarah is read and they are told by a moulana that their marriage won’t last. Must they make nikkah or forget each other ?
