Ruling on Reading Horoscopes for Entertainment

Question

May Allah reward you well, brother Abu Omar from the UAE says: What is the ruling on reading so-called horoscopes written in newspapers for the sake of entertainment, without believing in them?

Answer

There is no entertainment in that. If one reads them for the purpose of rejection and refutation, there is no harm. There is no entertainment in that; how can one be entertained by falsehood? Either one refutes them, or rejects them, or crosses them out and draws attention to their falsehood.
