What is the ruling on insulting the winter season, such as saying: "Winter is dirty," or "despicable"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

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."
