Superstition regarding the beast, the woman, and the dwelling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is mentioned in the hadith:
There is no ill omen except in three things: the beast, the woman, and the dwelling.لا شؤم إلا في ثلاث الدابة، والمرأة، والمسكن.
He says: Is superstition regarding these matters considered not blameworthy?

Answer:
If it is established that this house is such that whoever enters it is afflicted, and this beast is such that whoever rides it is afflicted, and this wife is such that whoever marries her is afflicted, then avoid it. May Allah expand your provision, my brother. There is another house, another beast, and another wife. May Allah expand your provision. For Allah may create evil entities: a beast, a wife, a house, or a place. Allah creates evil things, so stay away from them. Yes.
