إِنَّمَا
النَّسِيءُ
زِيَادَةٌ
فِي
الْكُفْرِ
يُضَلُّ
بِهِ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
يُحِلُّونَهُ
عَامًا
وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُ
عَامًا
لِّيُوَاطِئُوا
عِدَّةَ
مَا
حَرَّمَ
اللَّهُ
فَيُحِلُّوا
مَا
حَرَّمَ
اللَّهُ
زُيِّنَ
لَهُمْ
سُوءُ
أَعْمَالِهِمْ
وَاللَّهُ
لَا
يَهْدِي
الْقَوْمَ
الْكَافِرِينَ

Indeed nasee is an increase in unfaith, whereby the faithless are led [further] astray. They allow it in one year and forbid it another year, so as to fit in with the number, which Allah has made inviolable, thus permitting what Allah has forbidden. Their evil deeds appear to them as decorous, and Allah does not guide the faithless lot.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Verily the transposing (of a prohibited month) is an addition to Unbelief: the Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby: for they make it lawful one year, and forbidden another year, in order to adjust the number of months forbidden by Allah and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.
