Use Of Emoji
I wanted to ask about the Islamic ruling regarding the use of the 🤞 (crossed-fingers) and 🙏 (prayer) emojis. Are Muslims permitted to use these emojis in everyday conversations, or could using them be considered impermissible because of the meanings, symbolism, or religious associations they may have? Does the intention behind using them matter for example using 🤞 simply to mean “I hope so” or “fingers crossed,” and 🙏 to mean “please,” “thank you,” or “dua”? As they have polytheistic origin

A symbol that has lost its original identity is no longer regarded as being associated with its original meaning; instead, it is understood according to its new identity. We know that the names of the days and months have their origins in polytheistic traditions, yet we do not consider them problematic because their original associations are no longer relevant in their present usage.

🤞 emoji is used to wish goodluck or as a form of hoping for the best results. Wouldn’t it cross in the superstitious boundaries?
🙏 emoji is associated with Christians or other faith people praying to their god so many Muslims say to avoid it because otherwise we are copying other nations which hadith prohibit.
Many people also usw it to say greetings. Would greeting that way be permissible
Wht are your opinions
