The Ruling on Astrology and Knowledge of Fortune
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ahmad Saeed says: May Allah bless you. What is the ruling on astrology and knowledge of fortune?
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is a false belief. The zodiac signs do not indicate fortune or anything else; they are merely creations that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, created. The zodiac signs are the stations of the sun; they are created and managed, and they have no special property regarding events, fortune, or destiny, or the like. The Muslim should rely upon Allah, supplicate to Allah, and turn to Allah. His heart should not be attached to anything other than Allah, such as the zodiac signs, places, or people. Rather, he should attach his heart to Allah alone and supplicate to Him alone. Yes.
