What Muhammad allowed. What and when.
The Cow 2:197
For Hajj are the months well known. If any one undertakes that duty therein, Let there be no obscenity, nor wickedness, nor wrangling in the Hajj. (Yusuf Ali)
Obviously, obscenity, wickedness and wrangling are allowed at other times during the year!
To be fair, let us check another translation.....
The Cow 2:197
Make the pilgrimage in the appointed months. He that intends to perform it in those months must abstain from sexual intercourse, obscene language, and acrimonious disputes while on pilgrimage. (N.J. Dawood)
Obviously, sexual intercourse, obscene language, and acrimonious disputes are encouraged as soon as you get back!
If I tell my children that they cannot have ice cream for a week, surely the opposite is true. i.e They CAN have ice cream AFTER that week!
Therefore, after the Hajj, Muslims CAN have sexual intercourse, can use obscene language and can have acrimonious disputes.
Anyone who has been around Muslims outside of Hajj knows that they do ALL of the above!!
