Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: How do you reconcile the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Qamar 54:19], with what has been reported regarding the prohibition of cursing time?
Answer:
This is cursing time; this is describing time. It is not this kind of cursing; it is a statement of its attribute. You say, "Today is very cold." This is cursing. "Today is very cold." "Today is very hot." This is a description of it. Yes.
