Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your opinion of the one who says, "When Suhayl comes, do not be safe from the flood"?
Answer:
This is a colloquial saying. They mean that the flood may come down. They say that the flood may come down when Suhayl appears. If they said it that way, it would be astrology. But when they say "do not be safe," meaning that it may happen, there is no harm in that.
