Zodiac signs

· 10 Jumada I 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it ok to read the Zodiac signs without believing in it firmly. Zodiac signs tell us about some things in general. Will this be permissible or will this be like going to a soothsayer?

Is it permissible to wear stones or pearls? People say that they are a source of peace.

Answer

The hadeeth has strongly prohibited reading or believing these types of zodiac signs for they have the potential of leading one to disbelief.

Much of these things are based on superstition and guess work.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
