Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: There are books of physiognomy, and they state that if a person is tall, it indicates such and such, or if he is short, and so on. Is there a sound basis for this?
Answer:
No, this is mere conjecture, and physiognomy is not like that. Physiognomy is something that some people are given, which increases their ability to read a person's features. They read his actions and his appearance. This reading may be correct, or it may not be. Yes. As for writing books about it, there is no basis for that.
