Benefits and Issues: If one holds the belief that the aforementioned things have an effect on a person’s destiny, and that prosperity or ease is not coming except because of them, then this is a polytheistic (shirk) belief, because all authority over these matters belongs to Allah, the Exalted. However, if a person is troubled by them, the Shari‘ah has granted permission to change them.
