Does the Hadith "Ill omens are in the house, the woman, and the horse" apply to the case of deteriorating health after marriage?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Pessimism and omens are blameworthy. Women, homes, or animals do not harm or benefit except by the permission of Allah. The ("Bad omens are in women, homes, and horses") does not mean that bad omens are inherent in these things themselves, but rather they may affect those who are pessimistic about them. The questioner should dispel these intrusive thoughts by relying on Allah and reviewing his relationship with his Lord. Allah has commanded the husband to live with his wife kindly, even if he dislikes her. If he cannot uphold Allah's limits with her, then he should separate from her amicably.
