Sura 2
Aya 189
189
۞ يَسأَلونَكَ عَنِ الأَهِلَّةِ ۖ قُل هِيَ مَواقيتُ لِلنّاسِ وَالحَجِّ ۗ وَلَيسَ البِرُّ بِأَن تَأتُوا البُيوتَ مِن ظُهورِها وَلٰكِنَّ البِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقىٰ ۗ وَأتُوا البُيوتَ مِن أَبوابِها ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُم تُفلِحونَ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

(O Beloved!) People ask you about the new moons. Say: ‘These are Signs to indicate time for the people and for (determining) the month of Hajj (Pilgrimage). And it is no righteousness that you enter your houses from the rear (while in Ihram - the sacred dress for Hajj [Pilgrimage]). In fact righteousness is doing pious acts (instead of observing such meaningless customs). And enter your houses through their (entrance) doors, and always fear Allah so that you may prosper.
