Chapter: Two months are not both complete
Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 992 — Two months are not both complete
اُردوEn
وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنِ الرُّكَيْنِ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ قَبِيصَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : الشَّهْرُ ثَلَاثُونَ ، وَالشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "A month is thirty days, and a month is (also) twenty-nine days."
According to the imams of hadith, the purpose of this statement is to make clear the legal status of the lunar month: in the Islamic calendar the length of a lunar month is sometimes a full thirty days, and sometimes, on the basis of sighting the crescent, it consists of twenty-nine days.
