The Ruling on Taking an Omen from One’s Dwelling or Vehicle

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This person is also asking, may Allah bless you, and he says: What is the ruling on taking an omen as a bad sign from a dwelling, a vehicle, or a neighborhood?

Answer:
Taking an omen is not permissible. Taking an omen and tatayyur (taking an omen as a bad sign) are not permissible, and tatayyur is shirk (associating partners with Allah), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So he must abandon taking an omen and rely on certainty and good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This is what is obligatory for the Muslim. Yes.
