˹Commitment to˺ pilgrimage is made in appointed months.1 Whoever commits to ˹performing˺ pilgrimage, let them stay away from intimate relations, foul language, and arguments during pilgrimage. Whatever good you do, Allah ˹fully˺ knows of it. Take ˹necessary˺ provisions ˹for the journey˺—surely the best provision is righteousness. And be mindful of Me, O people of reason!
Explanation:
The first two readings represent two linguistic options to negate categorically, with the intent to forbid those acts; the first (rafatha, etc.) may be seen as more emphatic in this purpose. The third reading entails a separate meaning for the third word, so it negates dispute concerning the Hajj, not during it [al-Mahdawi, al-Alusi].
