Guide to the abrogation of the prohibition of fighting in the sacred months

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the evidence for the abrogation of the prohibition of fighting in the sacred months?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege themفَاقْتُلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ
[At-Tawbah 9:5]
This means that once the sacred months have passed, it is not limited to the four sacred months. The sacred months are the period of free movement, where one moves freely on earth for four months, as the Shaykh explained to you in the past. So, kill the disbelievers generally, in the known sacred months and in others. Allah commanded fighting in all months, except for the months of free movement that Allah granted to the disbelievers
So travel freely, [O disbelievers], throughout the land [during] four monthsفَسِيحُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ
[At-Tawbah 9:2]
. Yes.
