Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

منظور از ناپاکی مشرکان

ناپاکی مشرکان در این آیه چیزی فراتر از ناپاکی و نجاست ظاهری آنهاست؛ زیرا در مقابل پاکی و طهارت مسجدالحرام قرار دارد و پاکی مسجدالحرام» امری باطنی و معنوی است و نه موضوعی ظاهری. پس منظور از ناپاکی مشرکان در این یه ناپاکی باطنی آنهاست. نکتةٌ دیگر این که منظور از «امسال» در این آیه, سال نهم هجرت است؛ یعنی سالی که علی(ع) بیزاری خدا و رسولش را به مشرکان اعلام کرد و همچنین طواف خانةٌ کعبه به صورت عریان و به طور کلی حج مشرکان را ممنوع اعلام کرد. > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr-i Mawḍūʿī.
