Commentary
The literal meaning of the term Shawwāl is a bit ignominious. The Arabs, therefore, regarded this month ill-fated during the period of ignorance. Hence, why they used to regard the making of marriage contracts in this month as an evil omen, as some people nowadays do not consider marriage contracts permissible in the month of Muharram, which, according to them, is the month of mourning. But Islam does not entertain such superstitions.
