There have been twelve months with Allah in the Book of Allah,
from the day He first created the heavens and earth. Four of them are
forbidden. That is the True Religion. So do not wrong one another dur-
ing them. However, fight the idolaters totally just as they fight you to-
tally, and know that Allah is with those who guard against evil. (Surat
at-Tawba, 36)
He placed firmly embedded mountains on it, towering over it, and
blessed it and measured out its nourishment in it, laid out for those
who seek it – all in four days. (Surah Fussilat, 10)
Those who swear to abstain from sexual relations with their wives
can wait for a period of up to four months. If they then retract their
oath, Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Baqara, 226)
Those of you who die leaving wives behind: they should wait by
themselves for four months and ten nights. When their prescribed
time comes to an end, you are not to blame for anything they do with
themselves with correctness and courtesy. Allah is aware of what you
do. (Surat al-Baqara, 234)
If any of your women commit fornication, four of you must be wit-
nesses against them. If they bear witness, detain them in their homes
until death releases them or Allah ordains another procedure for their
case. (Surat an-Nisa', 15)
But those who make accusations against chaste women and then do
not produce four witnesses: flog them with eighty lashes and never
again accept them as witnesses. Such people are deviators – (Surat an-

by Allah that he is lying. (Surat an-Nur, 8)
Why did they not produce four witnesses to it? Since they did not
bring four witnesses, in Allah's sight, they are liars. (Surat an-Nur, 13)
