The Ruling on Tatayyur (Taking an Omen as a Bad Sign) and Its Being Shirk (Associating Partners with Allah)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, is tatayyur (taking an omen as a bad sign) shirk (associating partners with Allah) that takes one out of the religion?
Answer:
No, it is not a cause of exiting the religion unless one believes that this thing acts independently of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). In that case, it is major shirk (associating partners with Allah) that takes one out of the religion. However, if one believes that this thing is a cause and does not protect anything from itself, but is merely a cause for evil, then it is minor shirk (associating partners with Allah), because it is obligatory to place one’s reliance upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
