Summary
Firasat is something sensed or known before an event takes place. In technical terms, scholars and Sufi figures describe it as an inner voice or light in the heart whose strength depends on the quality of one's faith. The fatwa states that firasat belongs to the believer and must be distinguished from suspicion (zhan), which may be right or wrong and is sometimes forbidden. The evidence cited includes Surah al-Hijr verse 75, Surah Muhammad verse 30 and the hadith on the believer's firasat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Firasat hanya dimiliki oleh seorang Mukmin sedangkan selain Mukmin tidak memiliki firasat tetapi hanyalah ilusi.
