Burning lobaan before moving into a new house
Question
Is it necessary to burn lobaan before moving into a new house and what is the significance in Islam of burning lobaan?
Answer
No.
To have a good fragrance around the home is recommended and more especially in a place where namaaz, zikr and Qur'aan Shareef tilaawat are offered .
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
