November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

As-salam Alaykom.  We know from V.9:37 that shifting or moving a sacred month and thus disrupting the calendar sequence for the purpose of breaking the peace treaty as the idolaters did is a forbidden practice. 

How about the intercalation system in a calendar like the Feb. leap year?  Would that also be taken in the Haram category?

Walaikum Salaam dear sister Ruhi.  As you correctly stated, moving or delaying a sacred month especially for the purpose of allowing war which the pagans indulged in, is Haram.  This is obvious from V.9:37.  As for intercalation, the Quran does not say anything specific.  However from the principles elucidated in Verses 9:36-37, I would think that intercalation is also not an acceptable practice particularly if it results in adding more than 12 months in a year.  I think the February leap year may be allowed.  Though it is an insertion that comes once every 4 years in the Christian calendar, it's an insertiion of an extra day, not a month and it doesn't seem to disrupt the balanced calculation of 12 months of the year. 

The only problem might be if someone is born on a leap year, that person's date of birth will have to be observed on March 1st for 3 consecutive years and the actual DOB of Feb. 29 will come only once every 4 years.  That seems a bit awkward. 

However, Allah knows best to what extent the leap year is right or otherwise.  Generally speaking, I would say that intercalation too should be avoided as much as possible, and every calendar must strictly stick to 12 months for each year.

Thanks to all.   Wonderfully enjoyable thread!   May Allah (Subhana Wa'Tala) continue granting us the love for knowledge with His final Message as our Sole Criterion.  Ameen.
