Seventeen and whoever says an hour, and I say about it, and there is no limit to most of it < h3 style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">( The consideration of this chapter has arrived )
The time of the soul’s intention to lie extends as long as what it intended until He is purified by repentance from that, so there is no limit to most of it or to the least. Likewise, the time of purification has no limit in one sentence, for there is no limit to honesty except that it is judged by the Sharia law to be praised and condemned, and its origin is praise, just as lying is judged by the citizen to be praised and condemned, and its origin is condemnation, so it is obligatory for him to always be truthful unless the situation rules. It is obligatory for him to always refrain from lying, unless he is judged against it in some case, which is lying for a reason, so it is similar to istihaadah blood .
Scientists differed on this issue. Some say there is no limit for its minimum, and I say so. Some say its limit is twenty-five days, some say its limit is eleven days, some say twenty days, and as for its maximum period, some say sixty days, and some say seven.
