QUESTION: Sheikh my muslim grandmother asked me to dial a number for her. When I asked who it is she said its an astrologer. I just made an ambiguous excuse that the number can’t be called but didnt tell her that it was shirk to call astrologers and seek help from them. Is this kufr? I dont feel mightve been a good idea to tell her off.
