The Ruling on Taking an Omen from a Wife, a House, a Mount, or a Car
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: May Allah bless you. What is the ruling on taking an omen from a wife, a house, or a mount? And does a car take the ruling of a mount?
The Shaykh:
This was mentioned in the hadith regarding bad omens in three things: a woman, a mount, and a house. What is its meaning? Although the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) denied taking omens and superstition, this hadith establishes it in these three things. It establishes it in these three. Some scholars say generally that a person does not act on superstition, neither in a house, nor a woman, nor a mount; he relies on Allah and does not take it, based on the other hadiths.
And among the scholars is Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him), who says that Allah may create evil natures. Evil natures. A woman may be a devil from among the devils of mankind; they are not from the jinn, but devils of mankind. The mounts also have devils; the mounts have devils, devils of the mounts. The house, the spot, the spot may be one from which an omen is taken, created by Allah as one from which an omen is taken, an evil spot. So one avoids it, avoids the devilish woman, avoids the devilish mount, avoids the house, and stays away so that one does not develop sensitivities and resentments. If one approaches these matters, one stays away from them in order to be at ease, so that one’s soul is at ease. Yes. May Allah reward you. This is the meaning of the words of Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
The hadith is to be taken at its apparent meaning and acted upon, and that Allah creates what He wills. He creates devils among the mounts and creates devils among the women, and He makes some spots ones from which an omen is taken. So you avoid these things in order to be at ease. Yes.
