Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, says in this question he sent by fax: I bought food from a shop, and then my son was afflicted with an illness related to, or concerning, this food. But, Shaykh, I do not know whether the cause was the food I bought from that shop or something else. So I disliked buying from this shop. Is this included in the taking of an omen as a bad sign that is prohibited?
Answer:
Yes. If you expect that it is from this shop and that the food in it is not healthy, leave it and free yourself from these obsessions. The matter is easy in this regard; there are many shops, and you will find what you want, and praise be to Allah. Leave what causes doubt for what does not cause doubt. Yes.
