Preventing sons from appearing together out of fear of the evil eye
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I have many sons and I prevent them from appearing before people together out of fear for them of the evil eye, is this among the taking of omens as a bad sign that is prohibited?
Answer:
This is not among the taking of omens as a bad sign, but rather it is among avoiding the causes that the soul dislikes. And Ya'qub (peace be upon him)[Yusuf 12:67]. This is among taking the protective measures by the permission of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions.

And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates
وَقَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ لَا تَدْخُلُوا مِن بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ وَادْخُلُوا مِنْ أَبْوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍ
