إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍ وَلَا عَادٍ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ {173}
But rather, (it is) ‘حَرَّمَ’ Prohibited upon you, the dead, and the blood, and flesh of the swine, and whatever is dedicated with for other than Allah. But the one who is desperate, without coveting nor transgressing, so there is no sin upon him. Surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [2:173]
الشَّهْرُ الْحَرَامُ بِالشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ وَالْحُرُمَاتُ قِصَاصٌ ۚ فَمَنِ اعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ {194}
The Sacred Month with the sacred Month and the Sacred things are (subject to) retaliation; So the one who assaults upon you, then assault upon him with the like of what he assaulted upon you; and fear Allah and know that Allah is with the fearing ones [2:194]
محمد بن يعقوب: عن علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، و محمد بن إسماعيل، عن الفضل بن شاذان، جميعا، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن معاوية بن عمار، قال
Muhammad Bin Yaqoub, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazal Bin Shazaan, altogether, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Amaar who said,
سألت أبا عبد الله (عليه السلام) عن رجل قتل رجلا في الحل، ثم دخل الحرم. فقال: «لا يقتل و لا يطعم و لا يسقى و لا يبايع و لا يؤوى حتى يخرج من الحرم فيقام عليه الحد
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about a man who killed a man in the non-sacred area (outside the Harrum), then he entered the Harrum (Sanctuary)’. He-asws said: ‘He would neither be killed, nor fed, nor quenched, nor sold to, nor sheltered, until he exits from the Harrum, so the legal punishment would be established upon him’’.
قال: قلت: فما تقول في رجل قتل في الحرم أو سرق؟ قال: «يقام عليه الحد في الحرم، لأنه لم ير للحرم حرمة، و قد قال الله عز و جل: فَمَنِ اعْتَدى عَلَيْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدى عَلَيْكُمْ- فقال-: هذا هو في الحرم- فقال- فَلا عُدْوانَ إِلَّا عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ
He (the narrator said, ‘So what are you-asws saying regarding a man who kills or steals inside the Harrum (Sanctuary)?’ he-asws said: ‘The legal punishment would be applied upon him inside the Harrum, because he did not view the Harrum as sacred, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: So the one who assaults upon you, then assault upon him with the like of what he assaulted upon you [2:194] – this is inside the Sanctuary – so He-azwj Said: Then there should not be hostility except upon the unjust ones [2:193]’.[1]
العياشي: عن العلاء بن الفضيل، قال: سألته عن المشركين، أ يبتدئ بهم المسلمون بالقتال في الشهر الحرام؟ فقال: «إذا كان المشركون ابتدءوهم باستحلالهم، و رأى المسلمون أنهم يظهرون عليهم فيه، و ذلك قوله تعالى: الشَّهْرُ الْحَرامُ بِالشَّهْرِ الْحَرامِ وَ الْحُرُماتُ قِصاصٌ
Al-Ayyashi, from Al-A’ala Bin Al-Fazeyl who said, ‘I asked him-asws about the Polytheist, ‘Can the Muslims initiate with them with the fighting during the Sacred month?’ So he-asws said: ‘When it was so that the Polytheists are initiating them with their freedom, and the Muslims see that they are overcoming upon them during it. And that is (due to) the Words of the Exalted: The Sacred Month with the sacred Month and the Sacred things are (subject to) retaliation [2:194]’’.[2]
