Question
why do some poeple say that having a wedding or giving birth in the month of safar is bad luck. What is the significance of safar in respect of bad omens.
Answer
The people in the time of Jaahiliyyah (pre-Islamic era) used to regard the month of Safar as a bad luck month. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] removed this misconception and wrong belief and stated, ‘There is no (bad luck in the month of) Safar.’ (Bukhari)
As Muslims, our belief is all good and bad is from Allah. He knows the destiny of all. Bad omens is thus prohibited.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
