Using the term karma
Question
Please can you comment in the Islamic ruling or stance on Karma. Can you please also advise what is the stance on using the term karma. For example if someone does wrong to you, to tell that person karma will get you.
Answer
This is superstition and shirk. It is a kaafir belief that must be forsaken.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
