حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ‏:‏ ”إِنْ كَانَ الشُّؤْمُ فِي شَيْءٍ، فَفِي الْمَرْأَةِ، وَالْفَرَسِ، وَالْمَسْكَنِ‏.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If there were to be any bad omen in anything, it would be in a woman, a horse, and a house.”

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.
