The ruling on taking an omen as a bad sign from certain months
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q64: The questioner says: There are people who take an omen as a bad sign from certain months of the year. For example, they do not travel in the month of Safar, and they do not invite any of their relatives during it; they take an omen as a bad sign from this month. What is the ruling of the Shari'ah in this matter?
A64: Taking an omen as a bad sign is not permissible, whether by times, people, or places; because it is from taking an omen as a bad sign, and from having a bad opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). And the Muslim should take a good omen with good, and not take an omen as a bad sign, and he should accustom himself to that.
Taking an omen as a bad sign by time is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:Sunan Abi Dawud 5274Sahih (Al-Albani) So it is not permissible to take an omen as a bad sign by time, or to insult the age, or what is similar to that.

The son of Adam injures me by abusing time, whereas I am time. Authority is in my hand. I alternate the night and the day
يؤذيني ابن آدم يسب الدهر، وأنا الدهر بيدي الأمر، أقلب الليل والنهار
