Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on taking an omen from the month of Safar? Also, is it permissible for a person to take a good omen from certain places or certain clothes?
Answer:
Taking an omen is not permissible, neither with the month of Safar nor with anything else, because it is a form of superstition, because it is a form of superstition and bad opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and because taking an omen from things is believing that they cause harm without Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and they are creations among the creations of Allah, so this undermines the creed, the creed of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Whoever finds in himself something of superstition or taking an omen should rely upon Allah, and sayMusannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22:737, and Allah will remove that from him by His permission.
As for taking a good omen, it is required. Taking a good omen: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked a good omen. Taking a good omen from places, from people, and from words is a good thing; because it is a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.

O Allah, there is no omen except Your omen, and there is no good except Your good, and there is no god but You
اللهم لا طير إلا طيرك، ولا خير إلا خيرك، ولا إله غيركAs for taking a good omen, it is required. Taking a good omen: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked a good omen.
