What is the ruling on insulting the winter season, such as saying: "Winter is dirty," or "despicable"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to curse winter or any other season or time, because the Shari'ah prohibits cursing time, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah عز وجل said: 'The son of Adam harms Me; he curses time, and I am time; I alternate the night and day.'" And in another narration: "Do not curse time, for Allah is time."
