Twitching of Eyes


Twitching of Eyes

There is no connection between Twitching of eyes and bad luck. This a superstition of the Kuffaar which the Muslim must beware of, because it is one of the actions of Jaahiliyyah. It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade superstitious belief in bad omens and he said that this is a form of minor shirk that is contrary to the Tawheed in which we must believe, because superstition is a trick by means of which the Shaytaan seeks to cause fear and whisper into people's hearts.

The Prophet's prohibition of superstition is mentioned in more than one hadeeth, for example:

The hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "There is no 'adawa (contagion except by the will of Allaah) and no tiyarah (superstitious belief in bird omens)."
[Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5757; Muslim, 102.]
