عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه، عَنْ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَتَى كَاهِنًا، أَوْ عَرَّافًا، فَصَدَّقَهُ بِمَا يَقُولُ، فَقَدْ كَفَرَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ»
37 - The prohibition of black magic and all claims of having knowledge of what is beyond human perception
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Whoever goes to a fortune teller or soothsayer and believes what he says disbelieves in what has been revealed to Muhammad.

Summary of Meaning
The Prophet (peace be upon him) states that whoever goes to a fortune teller or anyone who claims to know what God has kept for Himself, and believes him in what he says, his action takes him to disbelief. It may even take him totally outside the religion of Islam or bring him very close to such.
