Is it permissible in Islam to wear a ring given by an astrologer and to believe in astrology?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Before few day ago, I went to a Astrologer. He saw my both hand. He told something about my past life by seeing my line of hand and that was true. I became surprised. He also predicted about my future life. Now my question is that what is islamic view about Astrology. The Astrologer told me for wearing ring. According to his opinion, ring can solve my some problem. Can I wear ring from Astrologer?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1207/916/H=1431)

(1) Visiting an astrologer is haram, and confirming him is feared to cause kufr. 
(2) It is not lawful to wear the ring given by him. If someone predicts that the astrologer must die, can he remove the danger of his death by wearing the ring? How many astrologers have solved their problems of death? Had it been so, no astrologer of the world would ever die. Reform yourself by doing true tauba.
