Qabisah bin Al-Mukhariq (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
saying, "
The practice of `Iyafah, the interpretation of omens from the flight of birds, the practice of divination by
drawing lines on the ground and taking evil omens are all practices of Al-Jibt (the idol, the diviner, or sorcerer)
.''
[Abu Dawud].
Commentary:
Iyafah is an occult practice in which the practitioner rapidly draws lines on the soft ground in the
presence of his client in such a manner that the lines cannot be counted then he effaces the lines in pairs. If at the end
of the exercise two lines are left on the ground, it is taken as a good omen; if it is a single line, it is a bad omen.
Some people have also described certain other forms of this occult formula. In any case, it was one of the formulas
practised by the soothsayers of the Period of Ignorance. This practice, like others of this kind, was prohibited and
Muslims were made to understand that such things could neither benefit nor harm anyone, and were mere tricks and
frauds; and any reliance on them was absolute superstition and heresy. How sad it is that a large number of Muslims
of the present age have faith in such occult practices and believe in superstitions. May Allah grant us guidance and
save us from such evils. Al-Jibt covers a wide meanings. It means anything worshipped other than the true God
(Allah), i.e., all false deities, be they an idol, Satan, graves, stars, angels, saints, Jesus the son of Mary, etc.

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
He who acquires a
branch of the knowledge of astrology, learns a branch of magic (of which he acquires more as long as) he continues
to do so
.''
[Abu Dawud].
Commentary:
In this Hadith, astrology has been regarded a part of magic. In Islam the learning of magic has been
held equivalent to infidelity. Thus, it is evident that in Islam, astrology and soothsaying are highly dangerous, and
learning them is a great sin. Astrology here stands for that pseudo-science on the basis of which future events are
predicted with reference to the movements of stars. There is another science called astronomy by means of which
timings of sunrise and sunset are calculated. This branch of science, however, is a genuine science because it is
based on experiment and observation.

Mu`awiyah bin Al-Hakam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have
recently emerged from ignorance and Allah has favoured me with Islam. There are still some men among us who
visit the soothsayers to consult them (on matters relating to the future).'' He (PBUH) replied, "
Do not visit them.
'' I
said: "There are some men who are guided by omens.'' He replied, "
These are the ideas which come up in their
minds but you should not be influenced by them (i.e., these things) should not prevent them from pursuing their
works
.'' I said: "There are some men who practise divination by drawing lines on the ground.'' The Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) replied, "
There was a Prophet who drew lines, the line which agrees with the line drawn by that
Prophet would be correct
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
1. This Hadith has already appeared earlier [Hadith No 701]. "
These are the ideas which come up in their minds
''
means that sometimes something appears and one's mind at once takes it as a bad omen. This is something
instinctive and natural and one is not accountable for it. But if one acts in accordance with that omen then what he
does is wrong and is, therefore, forbidden. For this reason, the Prophet (PBUH) said, "
(i.e., these things) should not
prevent them from pursuing their works
.''
