2:217

They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offence); but graver is it in the sight of Allah to prevent access to the path of Allah, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members." Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you Turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be companions of the Fire and will abide therein.

They ask you [Prophet] about fighting in the prohibited month. Say, ‘Fighting in that month is a great offence, but to bar others from God’s path, to disbelieve in Him, prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and expel its people, are still greater offences in God’s eyes: persecution is worse than killing.’ They will not stop fighting you [believers] until they make you revoke your faith, if they can. If any of you revoke your faith and die as disbelievers, your deeds will come to nothing in this world and the Hereafter, and you will be inhabitants of the Fire, there to remain.

They question thee (O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred month. Say: Warfare therein is a great (transgression), but to turn (men) from the way of Allah, and to disbelieve in Him and in the Inviolable Place of Worship, and to expel His people thence, is a greater with Allah; for persecution is worse than killing. And they will not cease from fighting against you till they have made you renegades from your religion, if they can. And whoso becometh a renegade and dieth in his disbelief: such are they whose works have fallen both in the world and the Hereafter. Such are rightful owners of the Fire: they will abide therein.

They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allāh and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allāh. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.

Sana hürmet edilen ayı, o aydaki savaşı sorarlar. De ki: "O ayda savaşmak büyük suçtur. Allah yolundan alıkoymak, O'nu inkar etmek, Mescidi Haram'a engel olmak ve halkını oradan çıkarmak Allah katında daha büyük suçtur. Fitne çıkarmak ise öldürmekten daha büyüktür". Güçleri yeterse, dininizden döndürünceye kadar sizinle savaşa devam ederler. İçinizden dininden dönüp kafir olarak ölen olursa, bunların işleri dünya ve ahirette boşa gitmiş olur. İşte cehennemlikler onlardır, onlar orada temellidirler.

Ey Muhammed! Sana haram aydan ve o ayda savaşmaktan soruyorlar. De ki: O ayda savaşmak, büyük bir günahtır. Bununla beraber Allah yolundan alıkoymak, O'nu inkar etmek, insanları, Mescidi Haram'dan menetmek ve halkını oradan çıkarmak, Allah yanında daha büyük bir günahtır ve fitne, öldürmekten daha büyük bir vebaldir. Onlar, güçleri yeterse, sizi dininizden döndürmek için sizinle savaşmaktan hiçbir zaman geri durmazlar. Sizden de her kim, dininden döner ve kâfir olarak can verirse artık onların bütün amelleri, dünyada ve ahirette boşa gitmiştir. İşte onlar, cehennemliklerdir. Onlar orada ebedi olarak kalacaklardır.

Sana haram ay(lar)ı, yani onda savaşmayı soruyorlar. De ki: “Onda savaşmak büyük (bir günah)tır. (İnsanları) Allah yolundan çevirmek, O’nu ve Mescid-i Haram’ın (saygınlığını) inkâr etmek ve (Mekke’nin müslüman) halkını oradan çıkarmak ise Allah katında daha büyük (günah)tır. Fitne (zulüm ve işkence), öldürmekten daha şiddetli (bir kötülük)tür. Güçleri yeterse onlar, dininizden döndürünceye kadar size karşı savaşa devam ederler. Sizden kim dininden döner ve kâfir olarak ölürse, onların işleri dünyada da ahirette de silinir (boşa gider). Onlar ateş halkıdır ve orada ebedî kalıcıdır.”

يسألك المشركون -أيها الرسول- عن الشهر الحرام: هل يحل فيه القتال؟ قل لهم: القتال في الشهر الحرام عظيم عند الله استحلاله وسفك الدماء فيه، ومَنْعكم الناس من دخول الإسلام بالتعذيب والتخويف، وجحودكم بالله وبرسوله وبدينه، ومَنْع المسلمين من دخول المسجد الحرام، وإخراج النبي والمهاجرين منه وهم أهله وأولياؤه، ذلك أكبر ذنبًا، وأعظم جرمًا عند الله من القتال في الشهر الحرام. والشرك الذي أنتم فيه أكبر وأشد من القتل في الشهر الحرام. وهؤلاء الكفار لم يرتدعوا عن جرائمهم، بل هم مستمرون عليها، ولا يزالون يقاتلونكم حتى يردوكم عن الإسلام إلى الكفر إن استطاعوا تحقيق ذلك. ومن أطاعهم منكم -أيها المسلمون- وارتدَّ عن دينه فمات على الكفر، فقد ذهب عمله في الدنيا والآخرة، وصار من الملازمين لنار جهنم لا يخرج منها أبدًا.
