Does buying a number (phone number, vehicle plate number etc.) that looks like islamic (eg. 12 for the birth of prophet muhammad(sallallahu alaihi wa salam), 99 for the asma' ul-husna, etc.) considered shirk or kufr? Let say I purchased those numbers at a higher price than usual...
One of my micro business is selling prepaid cellphone numbers.
Except usual numbers, there are numbers that classified as Special Numbers that shared into two categories.
- First. Pretty Numbers, or numbers that look good. In example xx101010.
- Second. Lucky Numbers, or number that can brings luck to anyone who hold that number.
The buyers have different motivation in buying those numbers. They buy Pretty Numbers because they like those numbers, and this is not Shirk. But other buyers buy Lucky Number because they expect those number would makes them lucky, and this is Shirk.
Now back to your question. What is your motivation in buying that number ?. If you buy just because you like that number, it's OK. But if you think that number would makes you lucky or protect you from evil, it's Shirk.
