Question:
Assalaam alaikum respected Shaykh
Can you please tell about the book ‘Naqsh e Sulaimaini‘. Its history.
Also can you please tell if it is halal.
JazakAllah Khair.
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
It appears to be a book of astrology and taskhir of spirits through letters and numbers, written in Urdu in the late 1800s by a Mawlana Ashraf Ali Laknawi, whom I did not find in Nuzhat al-Khawatir (an encyclopedia of the scholars of the Indian Subcontinent). Such a book is categorically not halal to look into for other than a pious alim, let alone to put into practice.
