<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br> 1) It is prohibited to give a soothsayer a wage for his soothsaying. Any act that is forbidden, it is also forbidden to pay for it.<br> 2) Any person who causes corruption among the Muslim community, such as soothsayers and jugglers, they should be insulted and not treated honorably.<br> <br> <b>Benefit:</b><br> If a person repents from these acts, then the money he has earned therefrom is to be reconsidered. If he still knows those from whom this money was taken, he should give it back to them so as to get rid of such unjustly devoured wealth.<br> However, if he does not know them, he should give this money in charity, by way of getting rid of it, or spend it on lowly purposes, like improving degraded public facilities and feeding animals. Muhayyisah reported that his father sought permission from the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) to take the wages for cupping but he forbade him from it. He continued asking him and seeking his permission until he said: “Use it to give fodder to your water-carrying camels and to feed your slaves.” [Narrated by Abu Dāwūd]
