Summary
As a general rule humans are not permitted to see the unseen world. However, if God unveils part of it to a person through kasyaf, this is permitted. Discussions of kasyaf and firasat in Islam are bound by conditions set by scholars to prevent false and baseless claims. People are advised to learn from reliable and righteous teachers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pada kebiasaannya tidak dibolehkan tetapi jika dikasyafkan Tuhan sebahagian alam ghaib adalah dibolehkan.
