Dhu al-Qi’dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and Muharram

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Al-Allamah Ibn Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

These three months (meaning Dhu al-Qi’dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and Muharram) were made sacred because people set out during them for the House of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

Dhu al-Qi’dah and Muharram for traveling to the Bayt (Kabah), and Dhu al-Hijjah for performing the rites of Hajj.

For this reason, they were made sacred months in which fighting was forbidden, and attention given to avoid wronging (oppressing or committing injustice against oneself). Due to this, He (Allah) said:

 فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا۟ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ

So wrong not yourselves therein. [at-Tawbah 36] [Footnote a]
