Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person shooes away a bird and it flies to the right, and he takes that as a good omen, is this a good action?

Answer:
It is not permissible to shoo away a bird, nor is it permissible to hold beliefs about birds and their flight; this is tatayyur (taking an omen as a bad sign). Yes.
