Does changing one's place of residence bring good fortune, such as the current home being undesirable and moving from it will bring wealth?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Changing one's home does not bring luck or wealth, but it is permissible to move out of it if its inhabitant has been afflicted by harm. Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymeen was asked about the ruling on abandoning a house that has caused illnesses and calamities to its occupant, and he replied that it is permissible, basing his answer on the fact that some houses may be inauspicious by Allah's decree. He referred to the prophetic : "Inauspiciousness is in three: the house, the woman, and the horse." So, if a person experiences that, they should know it is by Allah's decree.
