Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you once again. The honorable brother Abdullah Muhammad says: Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted,
That [has been commanded], and whoever honors the sacred ordinances of Allah - it is best for him in the sight of his Lord.ذَٰلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ حُرُمَاتِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ
[Al-Hajj 22:30]
, and the verse, he asks, may Allah bless you: What are the sacred prohibitions of Allah? Are they places, or people, or the commands and prohibitions?

Answer:
They are all among the sacred prohibitions of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. The sacred sites—the sites of Hajj and 'Umrah, the Sacred House, al-Safa and al-Marwah—are all among the rituals of Allah. 'Arafah is a sacred site, and Mina is a sacred site, and the Haram is a sacred site. So all of it is among the rituals of Allah, meaning the signs of His worship and obedience. Exalting them means doing what He has commanded in them of obedience to Allah and worship of Allah, and keeping them away from sins, evil deeds, and violations. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
