    Peace Siki,

    Places on Earth North of 66.5 degrees will never see the full-moon during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice. Hence the "shahru ramadhan" will not be witnessed in those locations.

      Nor would they witness the new moon so, as I said in this thread earlier on that in the far Northern hemisphere the moon will not be witnessed in the summer and there is no dawn and no sunset so as I understand it people of those Northern countries do not have to fast.
      Those who chose to artificially divide the day and fast do it to their own desire, but they would witness it when the Ramadanin falls in other seasons. Fasting in the month of Ramadhan is blessing for the whole mankind including the blind, no one is exempt except those mentioned in the Qur'an.
      peace

        Peace Siki,

        I had to jump in again to comment on 3412. The translation you quoted is incorrect. There is no word for journey in the verse. The following is more accurate

        3412 And to Solomon the wind/breeze, its early morning one full-moon, and its blowing quickly/briskly/violently in evening one full-moon ......................................

        What this verse is talking about is the blowing of the wind forcefully in early morning alternating with blowing forcefully in evening at the command of Solomon. In other words, all this verse means is that Solomon was given control over when the wind blew with force. "Its early morning" implies "its blowing quickly/briskly in early morning", when contrasted with the second phrase "rawahuha shahrun".

        Salaam Truthseeker,

        Since the primary meaning of ?SHAHR? is ?OBVIOUS?. Here can we say

        3412 And to Solomon the wind/breeze, its early morning was obvious, and its blowing quickly/briskly/violently in evening was obvious??..

        Maybe Samia can comment.

          Peace be unto you, brothers and sisters,

          May God guide you to the righteous path, and may He shower you with blessings from Most High.

          I found out the hottest month in the area I live in (SF/Bay Area) and fast during August 1-31.

          God knows my heart.

          Peace and blessings.

            Peace and God's blesings be on you all!

            I stoped reading after page 15. Sorry all the arguments and running in circles are not helping me try to understand any better.

            I basically agree with Ayman's conclusions, as they make the most since to me as to what the Quran(reading) implies.

            My questions are for Ayman or anyone that agree's with his consclusions.

            Let me see if I got this right..

            ramadhan(scorching fullmoon) begins on the fullmoon after the summer solstice.(2185)

            The night of measure, is the night before the abstinence of the scorching moon(ramadhan) begins,Which lasts 10 days.

            Abstinence occurs during the daylight periods of the 10 day period. For those with non believing families or cant afford to stay the whole 10 days may stay 3 at the gathering and then abstain for 7 at home.2196

            The months of restriction are four months,beginning with the scorching fullmoon.(the restriction is against hunting during those months)

            The Gathering(hajj), last 10 days, Fullmoon to the crescent and occurs durig one or any of the last 3 restricted months.The gathering is to be attended by all believing families, but for those who dont have believing families, they can leave after 2/3 days.(2184; 2203)

            The year is solar and has 12 months.(936)

            Is umrah the lesser gathering and when should it be done? Can you explain to me 2196-197?
            And perform Hajj (the gathering) and Umrah (lesser gathering?) for Allah; and if you are prevented, send sacrifice whatever is available; and do not shave your heads until the sacrifice reaches its destination; so whoever among you is sick or has an ailment in the head, must pay a compensation by fasting or charity or sacrifice; then when you are in peace - and whoever takes the advantage of combining the Hajj and Umrah, it is compulsory for him to sacrifice whatever is available; and whoever cannot afford it, must fast for three days while on the pilgrimage, and seven when you have returned to your homes; these are ten in all; this decree is for him who is not a resident of Mecca; and keep fearing Allah and know well that Allah?s punishment is severe.
            The gathering(hajj) is during the well-known months; and for one who intends to perform the Hajj in it - neither is there to be mention of cohabitation in the presence of women, nor any sin, nor a fight with anyone till the completion of Hajj; and whatever good you do, Allah knows it; and take provision along with you for the best provision is piety; and keep fearing Me, O men of understanding!

            I know it says in 2185 that whoever witnesses the scorching moon should fast/abstain, does 2227 imply that even if we dont abstain, we should still attend the gathering(hajj)? It says it should be publicaly announced.
            "And publicly announce the gathering(hajj) to all people ? they will come to you, on foot and on every lean she-camel, coming from every far distant journey."
            In order that they may gain their benefit, and mention the name of Allah on the appointed days as He has bestowed the sustenance to them ? the inarticulate animals; therefore eat from them yourself and feed the distressed destitute.

            If I am mixing up things and not understanding some things, please explain.

            Thanks!
            Kadeen

            Thanks ayman for answering my questions the pm.

              I still need clarification on some of the other questions.

                2233 And the mothers breast feed their children two years complete

                3114 and his weaning/separation in two years (fixed at 365 days x 2)

                4615 and his weight/pregnancy with him, and his weaning/separation thirty months

                Equation
                weight/pregnancy with him + 730 days (365 x 2) breast feeding = 30 months

                30 full moons can vary

                1 lunar month = 29.53059 days
                29.53059 x 30 = 885.9177 days
                29.53059 x 29 = 856.38711 days

                Therefore, weight/pregnancy has to vary in equation to compensate

                Woman 1 becomes pregnant day after full moon;
                Weight/pregnancy with him = 886 ? 730 = 156 days

                Woman 2 becomes pregnant day before full moon;
                Weight/pregnancy with him = 856 ? 730 = 126 days

                Regardless if 2 months early, 9 months, or month late, if both woman are pregnant equal #of days, it would contradict to state that one woman was burdened 29 days longer.

                Peace

                  Peace Pseudo,

                  2233 And the mothers breast feed their children two years complete

                  The Arabic word "hawl" doesn't necessarily mean year. It is better translated as "cycle" as one brother kindly pointed out a few months ago on this forum. For delivering a newborn, the cycle is normally 40 weeks or about 10 full moons.

                  So 2 cycles would be 2*10 full-moons. So pregnancy (10) + weaning (20) = 30. This is confirmed by 4615 that you quoted

                  4615 and his weight/pregnancy with him, and his weaning/separation thirty months

                  3114 and his weaning/separation in two years (fixed at 365 days x 2)

                  The passage actually says "within" two years. So it is saying "in less than two years". This is consistent with it being normally 20 full-moons or a few more full-moons in case the baby is born prematurely.

                  Equation
                  weight/pregnancy with him + 730 days (365 x 2) breast feeding = 30 months

                  The formula is wrong. There is no calendar system that has 280+730 = 1010 days in 30 months or 33.67 days per month.

                  30 full moons can vary
                  1 lunar month = 29.53059 days
                  29.53059 x 30 = 885.9177 days
                  29.53059 x 29 = 856.38711 days
                  Therefore, weight/pregnancy has to vary in equation to compensate
                  Woman 1 becomes pregnant day after full moon;
                  Weight/pregnancy with him = 886 ? 730 = 156 days
                  Woman 2 becomes pregnant day before full moon;
                  Weight/pregnancy with him = 856 ? 730 = 126 days
                  Regardless if 2 months early, 9 months, or month late, if both woman are pregnant equal #of days, it would contradict to state that one woman was burdened 29 days longer.

                  You are describing the same type of problem faced by doctors when they try to determine the due date for delivery. The lunar cycle provides an approximate estimate because it follows a cycle that generally resembles the woman's menstrual cycle. Similarly, doctors don't calculate the due date from the time of conception but from the time of a woman's last menstruation. This plus the fact that the length of pregnancies vary is why when doctors give a woman her due date, they tell her that it can vary within +/-14 days of that date (in other words a 28 days spread, which is close to your 29).

                  Peace,

                  Ayman

                    Peace Kadeen,

                    ramadhan(scorching fullmoon) begins on the fullmoon after the summer solstice.(2185)

                    Yes, "shahr ramadhan" literally means "scorching full-moon".

                    The night of measure, is the night before the abstinence of the scorching moon(ramadhan) begins,Which lasts 10 days.

                    The night of measure is the night of the full-moon itself. the abstinance lasts for 10 days starting from the break of the day (dawn) following the night of measure.

                    Abstinence occurs during the daylight periods of the 10 day period. For those with non believing families or cant afford to stay the whole 10 days may stay 3 at the gathering and then abstain for 7 at home.2196

                    The "scorching full-moon" marks the abstinance while the next three moons are for marking the feast. 2196 talks about the feast/"hagg".

                    The months of restriction are four months,beginning with the scorching fullmoon.(the restriction is against hunting during those months)

                    The word "month" doesn't occur in the great reading. The word "shahr" means "full-moon" the period between four-full moons is 3 lunar "months".

                    The Gathering(hajj), last 10 days, Fullmoon to the crescent and occurs durig one or any of the last 3 restricted months.The gathering is to be attended by all believing families, but for those who dont have believing families, they can leave after 2/3 days.(2184; 2203)

                    Yes, the feast/"hagg" lasts from the full-moon to the crescent and is marked by the three inviolable full-moons following the scorching full-moon.

                    The year is solar and has 12 months.(936)

                    No solar year has 12 constant months. 936 is talking about "counting" exactly 12 full-moons every single year and therefore skip counting the occasional 13th full-moon that we would get every few years. This would automatically adjust the lunar cycle with the solar cycle so that the hunting restrictions are not violated.

                    Is umrah the lesser gathering and when should it be done? Can you explain to me 2196-197?
                    And perform Hajj (the gathering) and Umrah (lesser gathering?) for Allah; and if you are prevented, send sacrifice whatever is available; and do not shave your heads until the sacrifice reaches its destination; so whoever among you is sick or has an ailment in the head, must pay a compensation by fasting or charity or sacrifice; then when you are in peace - and whoever takes the advantage of combining the Hajj and Umrah, it is compulsory for him to sacrifice whatever is available; and whoever cannot afford it, must fast for three days while on the pilgrimage, and seven when you have returned to your homes; these are ten in all; this decree is for him who is not a resident of Mecca; and keep fearing Allah and know well that Allah?s punishment is severe.
                    The gathering(hajj) is during the well-known months; and for one who intends to perform the Hajj in it - neither is there to be mention of cohabitation in the presence of women, nor any sin, nor a fight with anyone till the completion of Hajj; and whatever good you do, Allah knows it; and take provision along with you for the best provision is piety; and keep fearing Me, O men of understanding!

                    The word "hagg" means "feast" and "umrah" could be translated as something like "prosperity". So 2196 is talking about completing the feast and prosperity and enjoying/taking advantage of the feast and prosperity.

                    I know it says in 2185 that whoever witnesses the scorching moon should fast/abstain, does 2227 imply that even if we dont abstain, we should still attend the gathering(hajj)? It says it should be publicaly announced.
                    "And publicly announce the gathering(hajj) to all people ? they will come to you, on foot and on every lean she-camel, coming from every far distant journey."
                    In order that they may gain their benefit, and mention the name of Allah on the appointed days as He has bestowed the sustenance to them ? the inarticulate animals; therefore eat from them yourself and feed the distressed destitute.

                    If I understood your question correctly, then yes we should try to attend the feast, even if we didn't abstain. Abstinance is a different exercise.

                    Peace,

                    Ayman

                      I would like to comment on this

                      Beging quote

                      According to your argument, in order to not violate the hunting restriction all over the earth, you will need different calender for each part of the earth. As you know, for example, when it is summer in Saudi Arabia, it is winter in south Africa, and therefore hunting season would be violated in south Africa if you do not have different Calendar for them.
                      In other words, if June, July, August, and September are the Hunting restriction time because of animal matting time (Fall) and animal heat exhaustion (summer), then, people in South Africa will be free to hunt from October to June period, in which animal matting time and heat exhaustion are current (violating hunting rules).

                      Peace

                        1-thanks!

                        7-What do you mean exactly by enjoying our prosperity? The text suggest we can keep umrah at other times, but may keep umrah during hajj.
                        8-Thats what I was thinking, thanks!

                          Peace belH,
                          Not trying to be rude or answer for ayman,but it seems like the same people keep asking the same questions over and over when the answers have already been given in the same thread more than one time....
                          This easy to understand concept has been answered in this thread and others several times. Ayman and others have explained that the restriction is different between northern and southern hemispheres. So the restriction,hajj and fasting/abstinence in the southern hemisphere would be different or opposite of when people peform them in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere when its Winter here, people would be keeping the restrictions,hajj and fasting and we will not be, and when its winter there, we would be keeping them. And its been explained in this thread why this is possible or allowed. And there would be No need for two different calendars, as they are mainly used for secular reasons and not for Quranic festivals etc. We can use them or have them, but they are not required to observe the times given to us in the Quran, as also has been explained over and over in this thread and others, we use the moon and sun for counting and observing what God wishes us to do, not calendars.
                          Hope that helps.

                          I would like to comment on this

                          Beging quote

                          No solar year has 12 constant months. 936 is talking about "counting" exactly 12 full-moons every single year and therefore skip counting the occasional 13th full-moon that we would get every few years. This would automatically adjust the lunar cycle with the solar cycle so that the hunting restrictions are not violated.

                          End Quote

                          According to your argument, in order to not violate the hunting restriction all over the earth, you will need different calender for each part of the earth. As you know, for example, when it is summer in Saudi Arabia, it is winter in south Africa, and therefore hunting season would be violated in south Africa if you do not have different Calendar for them.
                          In other words, if June, July, August, and September are the Hunting restriction time because of animal matting time (Fall) and animal heat exhaustion (summer), then, people in South Africa will be free to hunt from October to June period, in which animal matting time and heat exhaustion are current (violating hunting rules).

                          Peace

                            Peace Ayman,

                            The formula is wrong. There is no calendar system that has 280+730 = 1010 days in 30 months or 33.67 days per month.

                            An equation is given

                            3114 and his weaning ?in less than two years?
                            4615 and his weight/pregnancy with him, and his weaning 30 full-moons

                            Solving using substitution

                            30 full-moons (856 to 886 days) ? his weaning (< 730 days or 2 yrs) = weight/pregnancy
                            18 to 22+ weeks = weight/pregnancy

                            Lunar months

                            (29.53059 x 30) 885.9177 days ? his weaning (< 730 days or 2 yrs) = weight/pregnancy
                            22+ weeks = weight/pregnancy

                            The main issue with full-moon, it violates equality for same offense depending on date of oath

                            2226 For those who swear away from their women (wives), waiting four months

                            Peace

                              Peace Belal,

                              According to your argument, in order to not violate the hunting restriction all over the earth, you will need different calender for each part of the earth. As you know, for example, when it is summer in Saudi Arabia, it is winter in south Africa, and therefore hunting season would be violated in south Africa if you do not have different Calendar for them.
                              In other words, if June, July, August, and September are the Hunting restriction time because of animal matting time (Fall) and animal heat exhaustion (summer), then, people in South Africa will be free to hunt from October to June period, in which animal matting time and heat exhaustion are current (violating hunting rules).

                              Animals follow the solar cycle so their hunting restriction period must be different in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. As Kadeen kindly pointed out, this was explained in details on this thread and it is precisely because the restriction is about hunting that this confirms that the timing of the restriction period must be different between the Southern and Northern hemispheres.

                              On the other hand, sectarians have abrogated the hunting restriction because they only restrict it for pilgrims during the few days of their so-called Hajj (which, by the way, is not timed by either the full-moon or any phase of the moon but starts arbitrarily on the 8th of the Dhu Al-Hijja). So they are blatantly violating even their own false interpretation of "ash-hur" as "months" and that the waxing crescent times the beginning of the "hajj". So what sectarians are currently doing as far as timing goes is wrong by any measure, even their own measure. It is not surprising that their timing is completely disconnected from the god's creation in the heavens and the earth and from the god's sayings. Indeed, whoever the god misguides then there can be no guide for

                              1. Did they not look in the dominion of the heavens and the earth and everything that the god has created, and perhaps that their own term has drawn near? So with which saying after this do they have faith in?
                              2. Whoever the god misguides, there can be no guide for and he leaves them aimlessly wandering in their tyranny.

                              Peace,

                              Ayman

                                Peace Kadeen,

                                7-What do you mean exactly by enjoying our prosperity? The text suggest we can keep umrah at other times, but may keep umrah during hajj.

                                The word "umrah" is a common concept that can mean "prosperity" or "prospering", etc. So it is used in 918, for example, do indicate that the institutions of authority ("masajid&quot of the god "prosper" only with those who have faith.

                                I think that the "prosper" part of the feast has to do with the purpose of the feast of witnessing benefits (222. Naturally, because people are gathered from all over for the feast, this is an opportunity to conduct business and commerce, all of which would result in prosperity. So if one enjoys prosperity in the course of the feast then one should donate whatever you can of livestock to contribute to the feast.

                                Peace,

                                Ayman

                                  Peace Pseudo,

                                  An equation is given
                                  3114 and his weaning ?in less than two years?
                                  4615 and his weight/pregnancy with him, and his weaning 30 full-moons
                                  Solving using substitution
                                  30 full-moons (856 to 886 days) ? his weaning (< 730 days or 2 yrs) = weight/pregnancy
                                  18 to 22+ weeks = weight/pregnancy
                                  Lunar months
                                  (29.53059 x 30) 885.9177 days ? his weaning (< 730 days or 2 yrs) = weight/pregnancy
                                  22+ weeks = weight/pregnancy

                                  As I explained above, while 3114 tells us "less than two years", 2233 more specifically tells us that the weaning is two cycles (which for newborns is 10 full-moons). So the equation is as follows

                                  4615 = .

                                  As you can see, the two sides are equal.

                                  The main issue with full-moon, it violates equality for same offense depending on date of oath
                                  2226 For those who swear away from their women (wives), waiting four months

                                  There is no violation and this is perfectly consistent with 2228

                                  2228 And the divorced women wait for three menstruations...

                                  Notice that here too there is no equality since depending on when the divorce happens (right before or right after a menstruation), the waiting period will similarly vary. In fact, 2226 and 2228 confirm that the way we count menstruations and the waiting period are the same (notice the same Arabic word "tarabus" used in both). So this means that like menstruations, "shuhur" are also "events" the only way this can be possible is if "shahr" meant "full-moon".

                                  Peace,

                                  Ayman

                                    Peace Belal,

                                    Animals follow the solar cycle so their hunting restriction period must be different in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

                                    Peace Ayman

                                    All I'm trying to do is to show why I disagree with you, in order to reach a common ground in which we all would be united.

                                    Please read the following verses, which you might read 100 times before, so you would understand why I'm not agreeing to having different times for Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

                                    Hunting is restricted while a believer is "Hurum"--under restriction

                                    51 O you who believe, honor your contracts. Made lawful for you are all the animals of the livestock, except that which is being recited to you, and what you are not allowed to hunt of the game while you are under restriction. God decrees as He pleases.
                                    51
                                    52 O you who believe, do not violate the symbols of God, nor the restricted month, nor the donations, nor what is regulated, nor the safety made by the Sacred Dwelling; for they are seeking a bounty from their Lord and a blessing. And when it is permitted (when the restriction is over after Hejj) for you, then you may hunt. And let not the hatred of another people; because they had barred you from the Sacred Temple; make you aggress. And bond together in piety and righteousness, and do not bind together in sin and aggression. And be aware of God, for God's retribution is severe.
                                    52

                                    If hunting restriction is violated, then the believer will have to do the following in a Certain place--Kabba

                                    595 O you who believe, do not kill any game while you are restricted; and whosoever of you kills it deliberately, then the recompense is to value what was killed against the livestock, which shall be judged by two equitable persons from you, and to make it as a donation to reach the Kaaba. Or, its expiation shall be in using it to feed the needy ones, while he abstains from it; that is to suffer the results of his deed; God forgives what has past. And whosoever returns, then God will seek vengeance on him. God is Noble, capable of vengeance.
                                    595

                                    Therefore, if one violated the hunting restriction in Southern hemispheres, according to the verse, he will have to travel to Kabba. And that is where I do not agree; I believe that Hunting restriction is during Hajj time.

                                    Moreover, if a believer from Southern hemispheres wanted to perform Hajj, He or She will either have to travel during the Northern hemispheres gathering time or during the restricted period of the Southern hemisphere; if He would perform Hajj during Northern time, He will have to restrict himself from hunting, which means that he would be restricted twice in one year (one time during the Southern period and one time during Hajj); and if he would choose to perform Hajj during Southern time, then he would be restricted from hunting in a time that is not animal matting season nor animal heat exhaustion time in Northern part (violation of your theory).

                                    I believe that the four restricted months period is the same in northern and southern hemisphere; and I believe that hunting restriction is only during Hajj time (5-95). And that is why I believe that Ramadan and Hajj time will rotate in season, hence, Lunar Year.

                                    Ayman, I'm not trying to start another discussion nor aggravate any of you; God is my Witness that it makes me sad to see Submitters and Believers divided, and therefore, I'm trying to unite our understandings.

                                    Peace
                                    Salam

                                      Peace Belal,

                                      All I'm trying to do is to show why I disagree with you, in order to reach a common ground in which we all would be united.

                                      Hunting is restricted while a believer is "Hurum"--under restriction
                                      51 O you who believe, honor your contracts. Made lawful for you are all the animals of the livestock, except that which is being recited to you, and what you are not allowed to hunt of the game while you are under restriction. God decrees as He pleases.
                                      51

                                      Exactly. 51 clearly says "under restriction" and not only if you are attending the "hajj" in the same way that "honoring your contracts and eating all the livestock, except that which is being recited to you" is an obligation not only if you are attending the "hajj".

                                      52 O you who believe, do not violate the symbols of God, nor the restricted month, nor the donations, nor what is regulated, nor the safety made by the Sacred Dwelling; for they are seeking a bounty from their Lord and a blessing. And when it is permitted (when the restriction is over after Hejj) for you, then you may hunt. And let not the hatred of another people; because they had barred you from the Sacred Temple; make you aggress. And bond together in piety and righteousness, and do not bind together in sin and aggression. And be aware of God, for God's retribution is severe.
                                      52

                                      Please read the Arabic and see that the "hajj" is nowhere mentioned in 52. The underlined part are false words inserted based on preconceptions from Hadiths.

                                      If hunting restriction is violated, then the believer will have to do the following in a Certain place--Kabba
                                      595 O you who believe, do not kill any game while you are restricted; and whosoever of you kills it deliberately, then the recompense is to value what was killed against the livestock, which shall be judged by two equitable persons from you, and to make it as a donation to reach the Kaaba. Or, its expiation shall be in using it to feed the needy ones, while he abstains from it; that is to suffer the results of his deed; God forgives what has past. And whosoever returns, then God will seek vengeance on him. God is Noble, capable of vengeance.
                                      595
                                      Therefore, if one violated the hunting restriction in Southern hemispheres, according to the verse, he will have to travel to Kabba. And that is where I do not agree; I believe that Hunting restriction is during Hajj time.

                                      Again, in 595 there is absolutely no mention of "hajj". The god doesn't refer to the pagan stone cube in Mecca. The word "al-kaaba" in Arabic means "the base". The inviolable house is the base and its location is clearly given in 2226 as any place where partners are not setup with the god. It doesn't matter if it is in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern one or anywhere.

                                      Moreover, if a believer from Southern hemispheres wanted to perform Hajj, He or She will either have to travel during the Northern hemispheres gathering time or during the restricted period of the Southern hemisphere; if He would perform Hajj during Northern time, He will have to restrict himself from hunting, which means that he would be restricted twice in one year (one time during the Southern period and one time during Hajj); and if he would choose to perform Hajj during Southern time, then he would be restricted from hunting in a time that is not animal matting season nor animal heat exhaustion time in Northern part (violation of your theory).

                                      If you travel to the US during the hunting restriction period in the US then you would be restricted from hunting in the US. You are not going to tell the police when they arrest you that you are from Downunder and therefore you follow the hunting restrictions there. Since their purpose is to protect wildlife, the hunting restrictions are a function of the location where the hunting is taking place. So even if you didn't travel to the US and while in Sydney you remotely triggered a gun that killed a deer in the US during the hunting restriction then you still violated the hunting restriction.

                                      I believe that the four restricted months period is the same in northern and southern hemisphere; and I believe that hunting restriction is only during Hajj time (5-95). And that is why I believe that Ramadan and Hajj time will rotate in season, hence, Lunar Year.

                                      595 doesn't mention "hajj" at all. As you admit, the god clearly tells us that the restricted period is "four shahr". So even by your incorrect definition of "shahr" as "months", the restriction on hunting should be for four of your months. So you are essentially contradicting and violating your own understanding.

                                      Peace,

                                      Ayman

                                        Again, in 595 there is absolutely no mention of "hajj". The god doesn't refer to the pagan stone cube in Mecca. The word "al-kaaba" in Arabic means "the base". The inviolable house is the base and its location is clearly given in 2226 as any place where partners are not setup with the god. It doesn't matter if it is in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern one or anywhere.

                                        Peace Ayman

                                        The Kabaa is the place that Abraham built and called the Humans for Hajj 22-27.
                                        And the verse I quoted clearly shows that any one violates the Hunting restriction will have to kill an equal animal in Kabba (5-95).
                                        Please read 5-97 and you will know what is Kabba

                                        597 God has made the Kaaba to be the Sacred Dwelling; to enforce for the people, and for the restricted month, and for the donations, and for regulation; that is so you know that God knows what is in heavens and what is in Earth, and that God is aware of all things.
                                        597

                                        If God did not mention Kabba as the place in which hunting violators will have to kill an equal animal as a punishment, I would have agreed with you that Hunting restriction is during the four restricted months.

                                        Ayman, I believe that God has declared four months out of the twelve and called them Hurm "Restricted" (9-36).
                                        And if one choose to perform Hajj in one of them, then he becomes under restriction "Hurm" from many things including Hunting. But when done with hajj, the restriction of hunting is no longer valid.

                                        2197 The Pilgrimage months are made known. So whosoever decides to perform the Pilgrimage therein, then there shall be no sexual approach, nor vileness, nor baseless argument in the Pilgrimage. And any good that you do, God is aware of it; and bring provisions for yourselves, though the best provision is righteousness; and be aware of Me O people of understanding.

                                          Peace Belal,

                                          The Kabaa is the place that Abraham built and called the Humans for Hajj 22-27.

                                          Abraham didn't build any pagan stone cube. The present stone cube in Mekka was built by the Saudis in 1996. This is an indisputable fact.

                                          And the verse I quoted clearly shows that any one violates the Hunting restriction will have to kill an equal animal in Kabba (5-95).

                                          Again, no mention of "hajj" here. The real "kaaba" doesn't suddenly cease to exist when there is no "hajj". In fact, the word "qiyama" for all people describing "kaaba" means maintenance or persistent, in other words it is not just for a specific time or only for the specific people who are attending the "hajj".

                                          Ayman, I believe that God has declared four months out of the twelve and called them Hurm "Restricted" (9-36).

                                          2197 .

                                          Notice that 2197 doesn't say "no hunting". The reason that 2197 doesn't mention anything about hunting or being "restricted" is because the hunting restriction has nothing to do with "hajj". Even if no one in the world went to the "hajj", the four inviolable/restricted "shahr" would still be "inviolable/restricted". This is a fact.

                                          Peace,

                                          Ayman
