The Ruling on Taking an Omen from the Months

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this Sudanese questioner, who resides in Riyadh, says: Some people take an omen from certain months, so they do not go out in that month and fear it. What is the ruling on taking an omen from certain months?

Answer:
It is not permissible to take an omen in any way, neither from months, nor from places, nor from people. It is not permissible to take an omen because it is part of superstition, and superstition is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and it is having a bad opinion of Allah the Exalted. A person should have a good opinion of Allah the Exalted and not take an omen. As for hoping for good, that is required. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked a good omen. As for superstition, it is prohibited and it is shirk, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Superstition is shirk.” Taking an omen from months or days is among the prohibited superstition. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is the month.
The month of Safar. They used to take an omen from it, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from doing so. The Muslim should have a good opinion of Allah and hope for good from Allah, and not take an omen and have a bad opinion of Allah the Exalted. He should not attribute good or evil to places, or to animals, or to created things, but rather attribute it to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
