113: The stars have no control over anything

Look into the stars sparingly, just enough for you to know the times of prayer. Turn away from other than that, since it leads to apostasy [1].

NOTES

[1] The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alihi wa sallam) said, “When my Companions are mentioned, withhold. When the stars are mentioned, withhold and when Pre-Decree is mentioned, withhold.” Reported by at-Tabaraanee in al-Kabeer. Shaikh al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah) declared it saheeh in Saheeh al-Jaami’ (no.545).
