1) inviolable months must be consecutive as per Quran
2) Hajj periods mark the beginning of the 4 consecutive inviolable months, as per Quran[/b]
Peace,
In addition, the 4 restricted full moons/months can be in between winter and spring season.
The surah 106 speaks about travel of quraish in winter and spring (I prefer the meaning 'spring' for the Arabic term 'saif')
because,
1) Dictionaries show 'spring or summer' as the meaning of 'saif'
2) Summer can't be a restricted period since 9:81 speaks about going for fighting in the heat [if this is about fighting the idolaters who broke their treaty, then the time prior to this hot time (i.e. prior to summer) would be al shahr al haram]
3) When it is spring, many animals and birds have their babies, so the ~100 days of restriction can prevent hunting of the pregnant animals (humans can't identify pregnant animals all the time)
And the chapter 106 speaks in such a way that the journey of quraish has some connection with Al Masjid Al Haram, since the chapter mentions Al Masjid Al Haram/Ka3ba, ?this House?, it seems this surah revealed when they are in AMAH, i.e. during a Hajj time. (So in winter they are coming for Hajj and after ~ 100 days in the spring, they return). And Ramadan starts in summer, i.e. after Hajj.
Some translations say there is big fighting in 'al shahr al haram' (2:217), including the translation of
free-minds.orgQur'an say ?...say: "Fighting/killing in it (is)
big/great, and prevention/obstruction from God's path/way and disbelief with(in) it, and the Masjid the Forbidden/Sacred, and bringing/forcing out its people from it (is)
bigger/greater at God, and persecution (is)
bigger/greater from the fighting/killing,...?
In this verse the derivatives of root K-B-R come 3 times, and it is clear that the 2nd and 3rd occasions signify a sinful action even though it is not mentioned directly, (i.e. bigger/greater
crime/sin). So the first occasion also can interpret in the same way i.e. big/great
sin/crime.
Thus fighting/killing in Al Shahr Al Haram is
1) great sin
2) preventing (people) from God's path
3) equivalent to disbelieving in ASAH
Peace
