Zodiac signs
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.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
