Verse 37

إِنَّمَا Indeed ٱلنَّسِىٓءُ the postponing زِيَادَةٌۭ (is) an increase فِى in ٱلْكُفْرِ ۖ the disbelief يُضَلُّ are led astray بِهِ by it ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve يُحِلُّونَهُۥ They make it lawful عَامًۭا one year وَيُحَرِّمُونَهُۥ and make it unlawful عَامًۭا (another) year لِّيُوَاطِـُٔوا۟ to adjust عِدَّةَ the number مَا which حَرَّمَ Allah has made unlawful ٱللَّهُ Allah has made unlawful فَيُحِلُّوا۟ and making lawful مَا what حَرَّمَ Allah has made unlawful ٱللَّهُ ۚ Allah has made unlawful زُيِّنَ Is made fair-seeming لَهُمْ to them سُوٓءُ (the) evil أَعْمَـٰلِهِمْ ۗ (of) their deeds وَٱللَّهُ And Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers ٣٧

Indeed, the postponing [of restriction within sacred months] is an increase in disbelief by which those who have disbelieved are led [further] astray. They make it lawful one year and unlawful another year to correspond to the number made unlawful by Allāh and [thus] make lawful what Allāh has made unlawful. Made pleasing to them is the evil of their deeds; and Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
