The Ruling on Taking an Omen from Certain Days and Months

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My sister actually takes an omen from some months and some days, and I mentioned that this affects her faith. What is the ruling on taking an omen from certain 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.
