I think it is...
If there was no matter, how can time pass?
There is no change, and there is no difference in anything if there isn't matter.
Really, time is the comparison of the past to the present, or the present to the future, etc, so, if there is a complete void, it is always the exact same moment, and it is always, "Now."
However, I would go even further to say that time is not a property of MATTER, but a property of ENERGY... Really, that's all matter is... There can be time and change without matter, if there is energy.
I'm saying there is no time or change where there is no energy.

Interesting question.
I would say yes, time is a property of matter, because if time stayed frozen, nothing would happen. Electrons would cease to orbit around the nucleus of an atom, causing it to become completely invisible. Everything would actually be invisible, because light waves would not travel any distance.
I'm pretty sure if time just stopped, it would result in some kind of catastrophic event and the universe would explode or something.

Time is a property of matter as it has mass.

time is nothing, because time is relative in the first place. There is no such thing as time. Time is something made up by humans.

No. Time is a dimension.
