What is the ruling on taking an omen from a person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Hello, yes, a question over the phone. Yes, if a person sees another person, O Shaykh, and takes an omen from him, is this considered taking an omen or pessimism?
Answer : It is a sin, and it is one meaning. It is forbidden, indeed it is among the major sins. By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "He is not one of us who takes an omen or has an omen taken for him." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked taking an omen and liked the action.
Because taking an omen is a bad opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and taking an omen causes the world to become narrow for the person, and taking an omen opens for him the door of whispers. Until he takes an omen from everything. Perhaps if he came to the house and found the door closed, he would take an omen. He takes an omen from everything and his world becomes bitter.
And if something falls into the heart of a person without his choice. That he saysMusannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22:737.
And I warn my brothers from taking an omen no matter what. So that they do not fall into sin, difficulty, and narrowness. And let the world before them be all good. And as for the known evil, it is known, and the believer will avoid the evil. May Allah reward you with good, and thank you to the sister questioner.

O Allah, there is no omen except Your omen, and there is no good except Your good, and there is no god but You
اللهم لا طير إلا طيرك، ولا خير إلا خيرك، ولا إله غيركAnd I warn my brothers from taking an omen no matter what. So that they do not fall into sin, difficulty, and narrowness.
