Combining the Prohibition of Tatayyur with the Hadith of Shu'um

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we reconcile the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of tatayyur (taking an omen as a bad sign) with his statement (peace and blessings be upon him)

Answer:
There is no contradiction between them, praise be to Allah. The scholars have reconciled them. First, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) rejected the hadith . Aisha rejected it, but the correct view is that it is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The fact that something is considered shu'um (an ill omen) and that its harm extends to a person, whether from a beast, a house, or a woman, is something Allah creates in natures. So you stay away from it. You stay away from it.
And because this is avoiding what is prohibited, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Flee from" . This is a matter of precaution. This is a matter of precaution. It does not contradict the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement prohibiting tatayyur and the denial of contagion. His statement is a denial of what the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) believed, namely that disease spreads by itself. However, the fact that disease transfers by the permission of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) does exist. For this reason, and for this reason, he prohibited mixing with a leper. And when the plague occurred in a land, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited entering the land, and whoever was in it was not to leave. This is a matter of precaution from causes. Likewise, a house, a beast, and a woman: if Allah has created evil in them, you stay away from them. Yes.
