[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said on the day of the conquest of Mecca, "Verily, this city is sacred, which Allah has made inviolable. Killing was not permissible in it for anyone before me, and it has been made permissible for me only for a time. Henceforth, it shall be sacred by the sanctity of Allah."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ وَلَمْ يُحِلَّ فِيهِ الْقَتْلَ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَأُحِلَّتْ لِي فَهِي حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللهِ»
