Summary
This fatwa adopts the view that both the reward for good deeds and the sin of disobedience are greater and weightier in the sacred months than in other months. The sacred months are Muharram, Rejab, Zulqa'dah and Zulhijjah. This does not mean the reward or sin is multiplied, as some people understand, but that it is heavier or greater in weight.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sebagai kesimpulan kami menyatakan bahawa yang lebih tepat adalah pendapat yang menyebutkan bahawa ganjaran pahala serta dosa maksiat yang dilakukan di dalam bulan-bulan haram adalah lebih berat dan besar berbanding bulan-bulan yang lain.
