Ominousness of times and places is a function of ominousness of their people; as God has said: ﴿طَائِرُكُمْ مَعَكُمْ[1]; “Your ominousness is with you” and therefore, every time and place are ominous for those who become miserable in them, and are auspicious for those who become prosperous in them. Therefore, no day is considered ominous or auspicious intrinsically. Yes, it is possible that some days of the year, regarding the astronomy times and nature conditions and their effect on human’s temperament, can or cannot be appropriate for some activities such as cupping therapy and sexual intercourse and with this respect, these days are counted as auspicious or ominous, whereas they have no feature for other activities and accordingly are not auspicious or ominous.
