The questioner:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are the sacred months such that the blood money is doubled in them?
The Shaykh:
This is the opinion of some scholars that killing in the Haram and killing in the sacred months results in the blood money being doubled. It is the opinion of some scholars, but the majority of the scholars of knowledge hold that it is not doubled, but the sin is more severe in them.

Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
