Consulting a Non-Muslim in the Digging of a well and being convinced about his Opinion

Q: Imaan-19 : When the uneducated Muslim farmers in our area of Shorastar intend digging a well for any field, they go to a particular Kaafir to Verify here the water is most abundant. When they go to him. he asks what they have come for and they inform him that they wish to dig a well and want to know where they would find the most water. He then remains silent for while after which he gives them all the details of the area, including the position and landmarks. Together with this, he specifies the location of the well The Muslims then take his word and dig the well. Is it permissible to believe in what he says and to act accordingly?

Answer: It is an act of the Kuffaar and a belief of the Mushrikeen to enquire Such things from non-Muslims, to believe in their word and to then happily Carry out what they say. If the Muslims do not repent from this, they face the danger of dying without Imaan. Such feats should be disregarded and never considered to be a Karaamat. When Dajjaal appears, he will carry out some even more extraordinary feats? Daijaal will bring people back to life and will have with him a Jannah and Jahannam, entering his followers into his jannah and throwing his opponents into his Jahannam? He will provide grain and rain for his followers during droughts and buried treasures will all be at his disposal. Beside this, he will carry out even stranger things. Should he then be regarded as being on the truth because of this? No! Never! The Hadith makes it clear that who ever believes in and follows Dajjaal will become Kuffaar and will be headed for an eternity in Jahannam. You should therefore repent for going to him and stop otheis from doing so as well. And Allah nows best what is most correct.
