Is astrological compatibility between names permissible or not?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
What is mentioned about astrological compatibility between names is a kind of charlatanry and superstition, and it is forbidden to engage in it, believe in it, or rely on it. Ibn Khaldun mentioned in his Muqaddimah that this science, called al-Simiya (the science of divine names and letters), appeared in the Muslim community after a period, and extremist Sufis claimed that the perfection of divine names manifests in the spirits of the celestial spheres and planets, and that the natures and secrets of letters permeate names and the cosmos.
