The belief in the superiority of planting under a specific star
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some fathers say that when such-and-such a star appears, planting is better than under such-and-such a star. Is this correct?
Answer:
This is in terms of timing, because seeds have their times, there is no doubt, seeds have their times; summer planting is not like winter planting, this is well known. This is from the side of times. But to attribute that planting under a star means the star is what strengthens the plant and it is what makes the plant bear fruit, this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). The star has no connection to agriculture. No, only the times, yes, seeds have their times, there is no doubt. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
