یَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ الْاَهِلَّةِؕ قُلْ هِیَ مَوَاقٖیتُ لِلنَّاسِ وَالْحَجِّؕ وَلَیْسَ الْبِرُّ بِاَنْ تَاْتُوا الْبُیُوتَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا وَلٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقٰىۚ وَاْتُوا الْبُیُوتَ مِنْ اَبْوَابِهَاࣕ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Translations

They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the new moons. Say, "They are measurements of time for the people and for Hajj." And it is not righteousness to enter houses from the back, but righteousness is [in] one who fears Allah. And enter houses from their doors. And fear Allah that you may succeed

Saheeh International

They ask thee, (O Muhammad), of new moons, say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage. It is not righteousness that ye go to houses by the backs thereof (as do the idolaters at certain seasons), but the righteous man is he who wardeth off (evil). So go to houses by the gates thereof, and observe your duty to Allah, that ye may be successful
