Question:
Assalamu Alaikum Shayks,
An Islamic scholar specialized in thuraab and Islamic architecture told us that there are problems in our house. Our main entrance door when opened faces the staircase, and he said we must change the door to middle where we face windows. Then the kitchen, the cooking area, etc…We even had to make a 2 cm hole on our living room wall. He said we are obstructing the jinn’s path, and they will keep harming us until we move out of their way. Is this shirk? My husband just called me and family “mushrik” this morning and we are khuraafaat. He said we are not Muslims if we do all these. Please help me…I beg you for a clear answer….
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
It is shaytan’s diversion in the guise of advice to create dissension in your home and distract you from changing your character to good. The house is fine, working on yourself is what is required, and the recipe is obedience to Allah and the Prophet, taking shelter in the Fatiha and the Sunna, not what you mentioned in your title and question.
