Omens

Question :

How can we reconcile between the meanings of these two Hadiths:
"There is no Tiyarah, and no Hamah."

And:
"If there is Tiyarah, then it is in these: the house, the woman, and the horse."

Answer:

There are two kinds of Tiyarah. The first is Shirk, and it means to find a bad omen from things one sees and hears. The second is the exception, and is not forbidden type of Tiyarah, like in the authentic Hadith:
"An omen is in three the woman, the house, and the riding animal."

So this is the exception, it is not a prohibited type of Tiyarah. Some say that this is because some women and some riding animals are evil and have misfortune written all over them, and this is by the will of Allah, evil that is by His decree. So it is not the forbidden type of omen when a person moves out of a house that does not suit him, divorces a woman that does not suit him, or forsakes a mount that does not suit him.
