The narrations regarding the month of Safar

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, what are the narrations regarding the month of Safar?

Answer:
I am not aware of anything, and the month of Safar is like the other months. However, some ignorant people take it as an ill omen; they take the month of Safar as an ill omen and regard it as a bad sign. This is a belief of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah); because the months are the days of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), they do not possess good or evil, but they are times for you. So do good deeds in them, my brother. As for it having any special merit, I am not aware of anything regarding that. Rather, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
There is no ‘Adwa, no omen, no Hamah and no Safar.لا عدوى ولا طيرة ولا هامة ولا صفر
Sunan Ibn Majah 3539
. This is a refutation of those who take the month of Safar as an ill omen. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
