Superstition Regarding People, Days, and Months
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu Sadiq, a resident of the Kingdom, asks: What is the ruling on superstition regarding people, days, and months?
The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. This is a deficiency in tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Superstition is a deficiency in tawhid. So if he finds any superstition in himself, he should say the reported supplication: O Allah,Muwatta Malik 49:35 Sunan Abi Dawud 3919Da'if (Al-Albani). He repeats this dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and supplication, and Allah removes from him what he finds. Yes.
The questioner:
And taking an omen from months, such as the month of Safar, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to take an omen from created things, and the months are created by Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and they contain good for the Muslim, so he should not take an omen from the months. Yes.
