It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Hakam that he asked the Prophet (peace be upon him): Tell me, what is the ruling about the things we used to do in the days of ignorance, for example, we used to take omens from birds? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: This is just a delusion of your mind; now it should not prevent you from doing anything. He asked: O Messenger of Allah! We also used to go to soothsayers. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Now do not go to them.
