Pearl of Wisdom

'The ignorant is one who considers himself knowledgeable about what he is [in actual fact] ignorant of, and he is content with his own opinion. He distances himself from the scholars and he is constantly finding fault with them. He deems invalid the views of those who oppose him, and that which he does not understand he sees as fallacious. If he comes across something that he does not know, he denies it and falsifies it, saying out of ignorance, 'I have never heard of this !' or 'I do not see it as possible! or 'How can it be!' or 'Where is this from?' This is due to his confidence in his own opinion and the paucity of his awareness of his own ignorance. For this reason he will remain attached to his ignorance, and as a consequence, denies the truth, remains confused in his own ignorance and too proud to seek knowledge.?

Answer: Tarot cards is considered as a form of shirk, hence it is haram.
As tarot cards is synonymous to fortune telling where the belief that some people possess the ability of telling other people what will happen to them in the future by using magical or mystical methods. These rulings also apply to people who claim knowledge of the unseen, such as geomancers, palmists, shell-diviners, etc.

It is narrated that Imam Zainul Abideen has said:

"Those sins which make the sky dark are: sorcery, fortune telling, to believe in the effects of stars on man's fate, to consider Allah's will as false, and to be disowned by one's parents."

Further, in Imam Ali's Nahj ul Balagha Sermon 78, Amir al-muminin has argued about astrology being wrong or incorrect in three ways [I encourage you to read that sermon - http://www.qul.org.au/library/nahj-ul-balagha/sermons/754-when1-amir-al-muminin-decided-to-set-out-for-the-battle-with-the-kharijites].

You should seek guidance from Allah in your prayers to assist the particular person, and you should acquire knowledge on why Allah (swt) has forbidden its usage through the Holy Quran and Traditions by Prophet Muhammad and his Progeny.

These verses speak about the disuse of such practises and reliance on Allah [(26:221-223) (27:65)].

Allah knows best.
