Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the people's saying, "When al-Murbi'aniyyah arrives, do not be safe from the cold," to be judged by their saying, "When Suhayl rises, do not be safe from the flood"? He says: Does this fall under seeking rain by the stars?
Answer:
No, this is a matter of observation. The flood has its time, and the cold has its time. You say that this time is prone to flooding, and this time is prone to cold. Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
