Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
The Holy Prophet (S) has answered this question in these words:
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: “Anyone who goes to a diviner, practitioner of magic or a soothsayer, asking something and believing in what he says, denies what was revealed to Muhammad.” (Reported by Al-Bazzar and Abu Ya’la)
