Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on naming the year in which Abu Talib and the Mother of the Believers, Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her), died, the Year of Sorrow?
Answer:
Yes, this is mentioned in the books of history. That is, the year in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) grieved over the death of his uncle and the death of Khadijah, the year in which the sorrow occurred, the harassment by the disbelievers, and the grief over the separation from these people. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was afflicted with hardships.
