Q

A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) took an oath for abstention from his wives (for one month), and during those days he
had a sprain in his foot. He stayed in a Mashrubah (an upper room) for twenty-nine nights and then
came down. Then the people said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! You took an oath for abstention (from your
wives) for one month.” On that he said, “A (lunar) month can be of twenty-nine days.”
