Q
How did the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) demonstrate his disapproval of the use of divination arrows by the infidels?


A

When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) arrived in Mecca, he refused to enter the Ka`ba while there were idols in it. So
he ordered that they be taken out. The pictures of the (Prophets) Abraham and Ishmael, holding
arrows of divination in their hands, were carried out. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “May Allah ruin them (i.e. the
infidels) for they knew very well that they (i.e. Abraham and Ishmael) never drew lots by these
(divination arrows). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the Ka`ba and said. “Allahu Akbar” in all its directions
and came out and not offer any prayer therein.
