Playing a Game for Fun to Predict the Number of Children
A group of women are playing a fun game with a needle and thread moved on the hand, which shows how many children the woman currently has and how many she will have in the future, and they always say God knows. Is what they are doing haram?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This game is a type of forbidden amusement; because it is for entertainment and wasting time, and divination of the unseen is forbidden and feared to lead to disbelief, and God knows best.
