Egypt’s Fatwa Authority Warns Against Sorcery and Superstition as a Threat to Faith and Society
An Egyptian religious authority warned against superstition and sorcery, stressing that such practices are forbidden in Islam and can harm both faith and social stability.
An official from Egypt’s Dar Al-Ifta emphasized that belief in superstition, sorcery, and fortune-telling is strictly prohibited in Islam due to its harmful impact on individuals and society, as well as its distortion of sound thinking and behavior.
He clarified that knowledge of the unseen belongs only to God Almighty, and no person has the right to claim knowledge of the future, stressing that believing such claims contradicts Islamic teachings.
He further stated that visiting fortune-tellers or sorcerers to seek benefit or avoid harm is religiously forbidden, referencing prophetic teachings that warn even against approaching them.
The statement also highlighted that relying on horoscopes or false predictions when making life decisions such as marriage or employment is prohibited, as it is based on illusion rather than truth or knowledge.
He concluded that Islamic law aims to protect people from both psychological and financial exploitation, urging adherence to prayer, remembrance of God, and strengthening family awareness to promote rational thinking and social cohesion.
