Shiekh what is the ruling on weather predictions?

ANSWER: This is a different issue from the hadeeth! The hadeeth is referring to astrology and the belief that these stars and zodiacs cause rain to fall. The weather prediction is simply forecasting when rain would come and where, through studying meteorology and sciences.

Sir I want to ask that is it true that cleaning house at evening or after maghrib brings less barakat in your house or if we will not clean and mop our house daily even if it is clean then it will reduce the rizq. Or drying wet hands from shirt and scarf as well is not good. Is cutting nails at night is also haram or not allowed??

I’ve heard that after cutting our nails and removing the hair under the arms and the hair below the navel, one should collect them all and bury them, cause it’s said that we all are made from soil thus the hair and nails should be put back to the earth. Also some people here believe that we should bury our hair (i.e.hair on head). Are all these beliefs authentic, sheikh?

No, superstitions have no basis in Islam and beliving in this can lead to minor shirk.

I keep on seeing the number 22 a lot in the past 3 months or so. I was born on the 22nd but whenever I check the time it’s normally 22 past the time. I see 22 on walls for example at university and other places. Sorry if it sounds weird but do you think it may have a meaning?

No, it does not have any meaning and if you give it a meaning, this would be superstition.
