Question 1569: What is the significance of the last Wednesday of the lunar month, and what should be done on this day?
✅ Answer: Refer to the following narrations:
1⃣عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الطَّائِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا یَقُولُ: یَوْمُ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ یَوْمُ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ مَنِ احْتَجَمَ فِیهِ خِیفَ عليه أَنْ تَخْضَرَّ مَحَاجِمُهُ وَ مَنِ تَنَوَرَ فِیهِ خِیفَ عَلَیْهِ الْبَرَص
📚 Uyoun Akhbar al-Ridha, Volume 1, Page 248
Ahmad said: I heard Imam Ridha (peace be upon him) say: 'Wednesday is an ongoing unlucky day. Whoever undergoes cupping on this day risks the area becoming bruised, and whoever uses depilatory agents risks developing vitiligo.'
2⃣عَنْ دَارِمِ بْنِ قَبِیصَةَ عَنِ الرِّضَا علیه السلام قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلی الله علیه و آله آخِرُ أَرْبِعَاءَ فِی الشَّهْرِ یَوْمُ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ
📚 Al-Khisal, Volume 2, Page 27
Imam Ridha (peace be upon him) said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The last Wednesday of the lunar month is an ongoing unlucky day.'
3⃣عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الطَّائِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ الرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ علیهما السلام قَالَ: کَانَ عَلِیُّ بْنُ أَبِی طَالِبٍ علیهما السلام بِالْکُوفَةِ فِی الْجَامِعِ إِذْ قَامَ إِلَیْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ فَقَالَ یَا أَمِیرَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ إِنِّی أَسْأَلُکَ عَنْ أَشْیَاءَ فَقَالَ سَلْ تَفَقُّهاً وَ لَا تَسْأَلْ تَعَنُّتاً.. إلی أَنْ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَیْهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ یَا أَمِیرَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ أَخْبِرْنِی عَنْ یَوْمِ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ تَطَیُّرِنَا مِنْهُ وَ ثِقْلِهِ وَ أَیُّ أَرْبِعَاءَ هُوَ قَالَ آخِرُ أَرْبِعَاءَ فِی الشَّهْرِ وَ هُوَ الْمُحَاقُ...
📚 Uyoun Akhbar al-Ridha, Page 133
Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) said: Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) was in the Great Mosque of Kufa when a man from Syria stood up and asked questions. Amir al-Mu'minin said: 'Ask to understand, not to cause difficulty.'
Later, another man asked: 'O Amir al-Mu'minin! Tell me about Wednesday, its bad omen, and its heavy nature. Which Wednesday is it?' Imam Ali replied: 'The last Wednesday of the month that coincides with the waning phase (mahaq)...'
✅ Mahaq refers to the last two or three nights of the lunar month when the moon is neither visible at night nor during the day due to its alignment with the sun. This usually occurs from the 28th to the end of the lunar month.
4⃣ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَیْمَانَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا قَالَ کَانَ أَبِی إِذَا خَرَجَ یَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ مِنْ آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ وَ فِی یَوْمٍ یَکْرَهُهُ النَّاسُ مِنْ مُحَاقٍ أَوْ غَیْرِهِ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ
📚 Al-Mahasn, Volume 2, Page 348
Imam Baqir or Imam Sadiq (peace be upon them) said: 'My father, when traveling during the last Wednesday of the month, especially during days like mahaq that people consider disliked for travel, would first give charity before starting the journey.'
5⃣عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِصَدَقَةٍ یُذْهِبْ عَنْکَ نَحْسَ ذَلِکَ الْیَوْمِ وَ إِذَا أَمْسَیْتَ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِصَدَقَةٍ یُذْهِبْ عَنْکَ نَحْسَ تِلْکَ اللَّیْلَةِ.
📚 Qurb al-Isnad, Page 57
Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) narrated from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: 'When you begin your day, give charity to remove the bad omen of that day, and when you begin your night, give charity to remove the bad omen of that night.'
✅ Based on the above narrations, the last Wednesday of the lunar month, especially when it coincides with mahaq, is considered an ongoing unlucky day. It is advised to avoid certain actions on this day, such as cupping, using depilatory agents, and traveling.
To ward off bad omens and misfortune on such days, one can follow narrations like number 5⃣ and give charity at the start of the day to remove the day's misfortune.
✅ Dear Shia believers! In your respective cities, gather as many Shia and lovers of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) as possible weekly, preferably on Fridays, and spend an hour praying and pleading for the hastening of the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him), as we are in great need of this act.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْر

✅ Do not forget to give charity at the start of tomorrow, Wednesday, 25th Mordad, InshaAllah.
