The Ruling on Taking an Omen from Certain Days and Months

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You say that my sister actually takes omens as bad signs from some months and some days, and you mentioned that this casts doubt on her faith. What is the ruling on taking omens as bad signs from some days?

Answer:
It is not permissible to take an omen; what is required is optimism. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be optimistic, and taking an omen is a form of superstition, and superstition is shirk (associating partners with Allah). It is not permissible. Yes.
