The Sacred Months and the Reason for Their Name

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abdullah asks about the sacred months: What are they? And why are they called the sacred months among the other months?

Answer:
Because Allah has forbidden fighting in them. They are four months: three consecutive months, which are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa'dah, and ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah, and the fourth is the single month of Rajab. Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa'dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah are the three consecutive months, and the fourth is the single month of Rajab. Therefore, they are called the sacred months because Allah has forbidden fighting in them. Yes.
