The ruling on saying: "It is a good omen"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, we hear some people saying this phrase: "It is a good omen that such and such happened."
Answer:
This expression should not be used. It goes back to those who believe in the stars, the rising and setting of stars, and it is a legacy of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). It is not permissible to say "it is a good omen" or "it is a bad omen" or anything similar. These are words of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) and must be avoided. Yes.
