The Holy Quran 2:197 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

ٱلْحَجُّ أَشْهُرٌ مَّعْلُومَـٰتٌ ۚ فَمَن فَرَضَ فِيهِنَّ ٱلْحَجَّ فَلَا رَفَثَ وَلَا فُسُوقَ وَلَا جِدَالَ فِى ٱلْحَجِّ ۗ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا۟ مِنْ خَيْرٍ يَعْلَمْهُ ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَتَزَوَّدُوا۟ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ ٱلزَّادِ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ وَٱتَّقُونِ يَـٰٓأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ

Translation

(The time of) Hajj is the few known months (Shawwaal, Dhul Qa'dah and ten days of Dhul Hijjah). So whoever considers the Hajj obligatory (upon himself and enters the state of Ihraam) in them (during these months) should not engage in any sexual relations (with his wife) nor commit any act of sin (should not transgress any law of the Shari'ah) nor dispute (quarrel, fight, swear, abuse, be vulgar) during Hajj. Allaah knows whatever good deed you do. (Referring to people who took no provisions with them on their journey for Hajj and ended up begging from others, Allaah instructs) Take your provisions along with you (for the journey), but (always remember that) the best of provisions is Taqwa (which includes refraining from begging). So fear Me O people of intelligence!

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وقت الحج أشهر معلومات، وهي: شوال، وذو القعدة، وعشر من ذي الحجة. فمن أوجب الحج على نفسه فيهن بالإحرام، فيحرم عليه الجماع ومقدماته القولية والفعلية، ويحرم عليه الخروج عن طاعة الله تعالى بفعل المعاصي، والجدال في الحج الذي يؤدي إلى الغضب والكراهية. وما تفعلوا من خير يعلمه الله، فيجازي كلا عل�� عمله.
