The Distinction of the Month of Rajab: That It Is One of the Sacred Months
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So, what is the distinction of the month of Rajab? We say that the distinction of the month of Rajab is that it is one of the four sacred months, and these are the four sacred months that were counted for us.
The student: It is the month of Allah, Muharram.
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: And Rajab...
The Shaykh : The month of Rajab, yes.
The student: And Dhu al-Hijjah and Dhu al-Qa'dah.
The Shaykh : Are the four in one year or in two years?
The student: Three in one year and the remaining...
The Shaykh : All four? Wait, man, finish the discussion.
The student: All in one year.
The student: One at the beginning of the year. Two.
The Shaykh : Okay, make sure.
The student: All of them in one year.
The Shaykh : All of them in one year. What do you say? Is it as he said, or is it different? Listen to the brother's words. Stand up. Wait, man, finish. May Allah guide him. Yes.
The student: Three consecutive.
The Shaykh : No, let the three be consecutive, there is no doubt, but I ask: are these four in one year or in two years? Rest. Who can help us until the brother sits down? Please.
The student: In one year.
The Shaykh : There is no god but Allah. Rest, sit down. Please, this one.
The student: Two years.
The Shaykh : Correct, in two years, because Dhu al-Hijjah is the last month of the year, my brothers. So, Dhu al-Qa'dah and Dhu al-Hijjah are in one year, and Muharram and Rajab are in another year. Say "no" or "yes," do you agree with this?
The student: No, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, you do not agree. In any case, it is necessary. Now, the Dhu al-Hijjah that has passed is 1418, and the Muharram that has passed and the Rajab in which we are now are 1419, according to your claim. Eighteen and nineteen, one year, two years. But yes, the cycle, perhaps we will look into it. In any case, whether in one year or two years, three of them are consecutive, namely Dhu al-Qa'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and Muharram, and one is separate, which is Rajab.
The student: It is the month of Allah, Muharram.
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: And Rajab...
The Shaykh : The month of Rajab, yes.
The student: And Dhu al-Hijjah and Dhu al-Qa'dah.
The Shaykh : Are the four in one year or in two years?
The student: Three in one year and the remaining...
