Safar

 

“Safar” is the second month in the Islamic calendar. No specific mode of worship or other special rules are set by the Shari’ah to observe this month.

Some people believe that this month is an unlucky month, therefore, they avoid to hold marriage ceremonies or any other happy gatherings in this month. This belief is totally baseless and it is a part of the superstitions rampant in the ignorance of Arabia before the advent of Islam. The holy Prophet (peace be upon him) eradicated all such superstition beliefs. Particularly in the case of the month of Safar, he expressly said,

“(To Hold) the month of Safar (as unlucky) is nothing.” Therefore, Muslims should not give ear to such superstitions. There is no problem in holding marriages etc. in this month.
