The Koran (Al-Qur'an) OF CERTAIN NEGATIVE PRECEPTS IN THE KORN. / SECTION VI. / OF THE INSTITUTIONS OF THE KORAN IN CIVIL AFFAIRS. / SECTION VII.; lines 7053-7133 confidence: medium

The year is described as fixed at twelve months by the ordinance of God, with intercalation rejected because it would produce thirteen-month years.
