Superstitions
Question
Some people regard finding lice in the hair as a bad omen and the blinking of the right eye as a sign of something bad going to happen? Is this correct?
Answer
These are all superstitions. Do not pay attention to these baseless things.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
