Why does a cat cross my path 2-3 times a week & why do I recite Darut Shareef?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalaam Alaikum, I am self employed,married & having a boy kid. My date of birth is 05.12.1974. Since years, i am observing that the CAT(billi) cross my road very frequently, aprrox 2-3 times a week. Most of the times from Right to Left & some times from Left to Right. When I was a teenager, that time I use to feared about the same. Now its usual for me. But still wherever the Cat cross me, I recite Darut Shareef. Please tell me what should I have to read in such situation. And why this is happening with me??

(Fatwa: 174/152/D=1431)

This is ignorant pessimism and evil omen which has no reality. One should submit his trust in Allah alone. Such thoughts were forbidden in Hadith; rather you should recite this dua at such occasions:

اللھم لا یاتی بالحسنات الا انت ولا یدفع السیئات الا انت ولا حول ولا قوۃ الا باللہ

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best

Darul Ifta,
Darul Uloom Deoband
