The ruling on attributing oneself to the zodiac signs, such as Libra and Scorpio?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on attributing oneself to the zodiac signs, such as Libra and Scorpio, where one knows a person's character by looking at their sign, and it has been tested, and the description in it matched that man's character?
Answer:
This is among the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). Astrology is among the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance from which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned. Even if this matches, it does not indicate the truth of this matter. Rather, this is a matter of trial and testing, or that Allah decreed this and it matched the decree, not because of the star or the zodiac sign. It is not permissible to believe in these matters; it is not permissible to believe in these matters or to engage with them. This is among the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and it undermines the oneness of Allah (tawhid) and the creed. Yes.
