Re: Nazar - Hiding your pregnancy
I guess if someone is direct enough to ask you then I wouldn’t lie to them but I would let them know that we are not sharing this information with anyone but immediate family right now so please keep it to themselves until a formal announcement happens. Obviously you cannot control things to the n’th degree and people who want to talk still will but at least you will not have been shouting it from the rooftops.
I guess it depend on how you were brought up and what the general thought process was there. We do believe that nazar exists but we do not attribute every little change in plans to it. That would be quite impractical na?
This is precisely how it happened with my daughter and my chachi. I don’t know if it was effective in removing the nazar or that the child is so fascinated by being the center of attention and ritual and she stops crying…
Allah knows best. The thing is that while chachi would be going up and down and around her with the mirchain on the tinka I would be reading my surahs and ayat-ul-kursi and phoonking on the kid… hehehee.
