2:197 “ The months of Hajj are well known (i.e. Shawwal, Zi-Qad, and
10 days of Zil-Hajj)*. Whosoever (therefore) intends to perform Hajj
in it (and wears Ihram for it), he must not maintain any sexual
relation with his wife, nor disobey (Allah & His Messenger), and also
not quarrel / fight during Hajj. And any good you do, Allah knows it.
And carry money** with you (for performing Hajj). And, indeed, the
best money is Taqwa (i.e. not to beg with the fear of Allah), and fear
Me (Allah), O’ people of Wisdom.”
*[ See Sahih l-Bukhari-The statement of Ibn Umar before Hadith No.1485.]
**[ Ibn abbas reported that the people of Yemen proceeded for Hajj without
carrying any money with them, and they begged there by stating that they
trusted Allah. On this, Almighty Allah revealed the above Verse.]
[(Bukhari-before Hadith No.1452)]
2:198 “ There is no sin on your part, if you seek the Grace of Allah
(i.e. if you do business during Jihad), and when you return from Arafat,
remember Allah (also) near Mashar-ul-Haram (in Muzdalfa), and
remember Him, as He guided you (i.e. pray to Allah, as the Holy
Prophet did), and certainly before this you were amongst the
misguided people.”
2:199 “ And you must return from the place (of Arafat) just as the (common) people do (i.e. without showing any distinction), and seek forgiveness of Allah. Surely, Allah is Most forgiving, Most Merciful.”
