Explanation:
1:
To hold the belief that tiyarah (superstition or taking bad omens) has any effect in bringing benefit or harm is shirk (associating partners with Allah),
and to act upon it with such a belief is to commit shirk with Allah.
Therefore, when such a thought occurs, it is better to recite "La ilaha illallah" (There is no deity except Allah),
because whoever is troubled by a thought of bad omen, by reciting this and placing trust in Allah, Allah will remove this thought from him.
