The Distinction of the Month of Dhu al-Hijjah and the Sacred Months
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: The month of Dhu al-Qi'dah is approaching us. What is prescribed in this month? Does it have any distinction over the other months?
Answer:
It is one of the sacred months. Allah forbade fighting in the sacred months before Islam. When Islam came, Islam became entirely safety and faith, praise be to Allah. Allah has explicitly stated in His great Book the prohibition of wronging oneself in these months:[At-Tawbah 9:36] Therefore, the believer should beware of wronging himself through sins, evil deeds, and disbelief in Allah, and he should protect himself from that in these months. He should do good and righteous deeds in them, the greatest and most important of which is the oneness of Allah (tawhid) and sincerity to Him. There is no doubt that the meaning is intended in all months. However, in the sacred months, there is a distinction and an added emphasis. Yes.
