Naming a Year as the Year of Grief

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: What is the ruling on calling the year in which the scholars stand up, and the condition of calling it the Year of Grief, a guidance for the jihad of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
No, no, this is only mentioned in the Sunnah regarding the year in which the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) uncle, Abu Talib, who used to protect him, died, and his wife Khadijah died in the same year, so it was called the Year of Sorrow. It is not permissible to call any year after that the Year of Sorrow. Scholars have continued to die since the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and none of the years were called the Year of Sorrow. Yes.
