The Sacred Month with the Sacred Month.**                                                                     And all violations of sacred things have compensation.                                              So whoever transgressed on you                                                                                      Then you be aggressive on him with equal amount to                                             What was the aggression on you.                                                                                           And do duty to Allah and know that                                                                                   Allah definitely is with the righteous.

 * Note 002:195. The Commandment in this verse clearly lays down the following,

1. A violation in a Sacred month may be retaliated inside that Sacred period. The goal is to allow a level plane-field and not tie your hands to strictly observe the holiness of a period when the enemy by not so restricted has all the freedom to hurt you.
2. A permission to retaliate against him who has hit, hurt and violated you.
3. A limit that you must not exceed the amount and extent to which you were hurt.
4. An allowance for you to judge how much were you wronged and are entitled to avenge.
5. A caution that Allah Who knows and sees everything will one day judge your actions.

The word  قِصَاصٌ‌  (= qay-saas) has been interpreted from the ‘Violations of sanctity of the Holy Month justify retaliation in the Holy Month’ to ‘Sacred Month merits the respect of a Sacred Month.’
