Question:
There are people who had a house where they were in a good state, then misfortunes kept happening to them in this house until they considered it unlucky, and they sold it. Among those misfortunes were trials that befall them, and the suicide of some family members. Is this considered superstition?
Guide the people, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is not superstition. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in an authentic hadith: So bad luck may be in these three things. In another wording: Riyad as-Salihin 1675 Then he mentioned them. This indicates that it may happen. Some women may be unlucky for their husbands. If it becomes apparent from her that she is unlucky due to her bad character with him, her bad conduct with him, or the succession of misfortunes upon him after he married her, such as loss, a slump in his trade, corruption in his farm, or destruction of his farm, or similar things, there is no harm in divorcing her.
Likewise, if a house is beset by a succession of misfortunes, bad conditions, and illnesses affecting him and his children, there is no harm in moving from it, renting another place, or selling it, based on this authentic hadith.
Likewise, if a beast, such as a camel or a horse or the like, yields no benefit and one sees evil from it, with misfortunes succeeding one another due to its causes, there is no harm in selling it and replacing it, based on the text of the hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

Bad luck is in three things: in a house, a beast, and a woman
الشؤم في ثلاث: في البيت والدابة والمرأةbut if there is anything (that may be a source of trouble) then it could be a house, a horse, and a woman
إن كان الشؤم ففي ثلاث...Likewise, if a house is beset by a succession of misfortunes, bad conditions, and illnesses affecting him and his children, there is no harm in moving from it, renting another place, or selling it, based on this authentic hadith.
Likewise, if a beast, such as a camel or a horse or the like, yields no benefit and one sees evil from it, with misfortunes succeeding one another due to its causes, there is no harm in selling it and replacing it, based on the text of the hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
