Ruling on regarding a house as unlucky

A woman had seven sons and daughters, and when she went to live in a new house, one of her sons died, as did one of her daughters. After they died, she saw in a dream that if she stayed in that house, all her children would die. I hope that you can offer some advice.

Praise be to Allaah.

If the situation is as described, then she has the choice. If she wishes she may continue to live in that house, and if she wishes, she can move to another house, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Bad omens are in three things: a house, a woman and a mount.” May Allaah help and guide us all.
