May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh! This questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted,
on a day of continuous misfortune,فِي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ
[Al-Qamar 54:19]
, is this evidence for the permissibility of describing the day as black if one sees evil in it?

Answer:
Yes. This is a description of the day; it is not the nature of the day, but a description of it. Yes.
