Superstitious beliefs with regards to marriage
Question
I got a marriage proposal which I wasn’t sure about so my uncle decided to have hisab done. I didn’t know it was haram then but it came back saying the marriage won’t be good for me and I will ultimately marry someone from another country. I have said yes to the proposal but wondering now if I should believe and listen to what the hisab said? Is hisab real? I am doing istikhara but haven’t had a answer yet.
Answer
Hisaab has got no significance in Islam. This type of superstitious beliefs are condemned. There is absolutely no basis for it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
