The answer

No one is permitted to claim knowledge of the unseen, as this contradicts what is stated in the Holy Quran, such as His (Allah's) saying: "And never would Allah apprise you of the unseen," and His saying: "Say, 'None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah.'" Therefore, what people say, that seeing hair before eating is a sign of happiness, is mere superstition, and experience does not fall under knowledge of the unseen. It could be a means for Satan to mislead the weak-minded. Thus, one must steer clear of such superstitious thinking and occupy oneself with what benefits in this world and the Hereafter.
