2. O ye who believe! Violate not the sanctity of the symbols of God, nor of the sacred
month, nor of the animals brought for sacrifice, nor the garlands that mark out such
animals, nor the people resorting to the sacred house, seeking of the bount y and good
pleasure of their Lord. But when ye are clear of the sacred precincts and of pilgrim garb,
ye may hunt and let not the hatred of some people in (once) shutting you out of the
Sacred Mosque lead you to transgression (and hostility on your par t). Help ye one
another in righteousness and piety, but help ye not one another in sin and rancour: fear
God: for God is strict in punishment.
