Topic: Ruling on Wearing Gemstones Based on Zodiac Signs or Astrological Beliefs

(No-50304)

Q Various types of gemstones are available in the market, such as turquoise (Feroza), agate (Aqeeq), and others. Some people wear rings made with these stones based on their zodiac sign or astrological calculations associated with their names, believing that a particular stone is lucky or auspicious for them. Is this practice permissible according to Islamic law (Shariah)?

a
It should be noted that Islam strictly prohibits superstitious beliefs and practices.
Therefore, it is not permissible to wear gemstones, such as turquoise (Feroza), agate (ʿAqīq), or any other stone with the belief that a particular stone brings good fortune, wards off harm, or is inherently lucky or auspicious.
A Muslim's benefit and harm are solely in the hands of Allah Almighty. Consequently, adopting such beliefs or acting upon them is impermissible.
However, if one wears it without having any false beleif associated to wearing it, or wearing it just for medical treatement, then wearing it is permissible.

صحیح مسلم: (رقم الحدیث: 2230، ط: دار احیاء التراث العربی)
عَنْ بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "مَنْ أَتَى عَرَّافًا، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ؛ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً".

مصنف عبدالرزاق: (رقم الحديث: 20715، 468/8، ط: دار التأصيل)
عن ابن عباس، قال: إن قوما يحسبون أبا جاد، وينظرون في النجوم، ولا أرى لمن فعل ذلك من خلاق.

رد المحتار: (45/1، ط: سعید)
و منهم أنه يعرف الأمور بمقدمات يستدل بها على موافقها من كلام من يسأله أو حاله أو فعله وهذا يخصونه باسم العراف كالمدعي معرفة المسروق ونحوه، وحديث "من أتى كاهنا" يشمل العراف والمنجم اه

الدر المختار: (389/6، ط: سعید)
وکذا کل تداو لا یجوز الا بطاھر وجوزہ فی النہایة بمحرم اذا اخبرہ طبیب مسلم ان فیه شفاء ولم یجد مباحا یقوم مقامه.
