The Wisdom of Designating the Sacred Months
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a wisdom in designating the sacred months of Dhu al-Qi'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab? In the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, fighting was forbidden in these months for the sake of Hajj and 'Umrah.
Answer:
So that people could perform Hajj and 'Umrah; because they used to fight, pursue one another, and cut off the roads. So these sacred months were established for the sake of Hajj and 'Umrah, for the sake of enabling people to perform Hajj and 'Umrah. When Islam came, and safety came, and praise be to Allah, and goodness came, the prohibition of fighting in the sacred months was abrogated, and fighting was legislated permanently. Yes.
