The Ruling on Taking an Omen from Certain Days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: What is your opinion of one who takes an omen as a bad sign from some of the days?

Answer:
There is no bad omen in the days; the days are part of time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Do not curse Time, for it is Allah Who is Time.لا تسبوا الدهر، فإن الله هو الدهر
Sahih Muslim 2246e
, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: "My son Adam harms me by cursing time, while I am time. In My hand is the command; I turn the night and the day." The command is in the hand of Allah; it is not in the hand of the days, nor the hours, nor the months. It is in the hand of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Time is a creation among His creations and a container for what a person does in it. So do not curse time; it has no sin. Rather, a person should blame himself, not blame time and not blame himself.
And he should repent to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Why should he place the error on time and forget himself? Yes.
