Question:
This is an Egyptian resident in the Kingdom who asks: What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[At-Tawbah 9:37]?
Answer:
Al-Nasi' is the postponement of the sacred months from their appointed times. They used to postpone them in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). They would postpone the four months in which Allah forbade fighting, namely Dhul-Qa'dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab. Three are consecutive and one is separate. These are the sacred months. They used to alter them from these months and defer them. This is disbelief (kufr) because it is a change of the legislation of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. So they were disbelievers originally, and they added to that by acting upon the legislation of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
