Is this the operative cause of taking an omen as a bad sign from the house, the woman, and the vehicle?

The questioner : And as for the question, Honorable Shaykh, some scholars have explained that these three matters are among the things a person frequently deals with and manages, and therefore bad luck may occur from them. So, for example, if this is the operative cause, can we apply analogical reasoning to other things based on it?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. What is apparent? The apparent reality is that this is a fact; this is the reality. Bad luck clearly occurs with these three things, and it means that bad luck must be present in them. Some of them may contain good at times. For example, a person may be in distress, worry, and much pain, and when he enters the house, he is pleased and finds comfort. Likewise, if he marries a woman or buys a cigarette, he celebrates. Yes, indeed.
The questioner : I mean, it does not mean that it is acceptable.
The Shaykh : No, it is not apparent. Yes.
The questioner : Shaykh, do you take an omen as a bad sign from these three things from the beginning, or does it occur later?
The Shaykh : No, it may occur later. It may occur later. But like the garment, the bath, and what is in the heart of Sami, it is not apparent.
