Some dwellings, mounts, or wives might be inauspicious, and Allah may place harm or loss of benefit in them. Therefore, there is no harm in selling a house and moving to another, hoping that Allah will place good in the new one. Some houses, wives, and mounts may contain inauspiciousness by Allah's decree, so that a person may move to another place.
