Good Luck Stones

Question:

Assalam u alayekum ya sheikh!

What is your opinion about wearing gemstones (with the intention that Allah may make my luck better through the effect of these stones) and reading horoscopes (from  newspaper or website etc.)?

Answer:

`Alaykum as-Salam

Wearing gemstones such as ruby, peridot, turquoise etc. should be to the
intention of lawful adornment and obtaining the reward of following a
sunna, not for good luck which is not an Islamic notion. Allah Most High
is the Provider for everything great and small, not blind fortune or
luck. Reading horoscopes is strictly forbidden and believing them
endangers one’s faith.
