**What is the first sentence of verse 2:184 LITERALLY saying?**
Arabic text is
Translations we have are
1. "Prescribed number of days" as per Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
2. "Fixed number of days" as per Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali & Muhammad Muhsin Khan
3. "A limited number of days" as per Saheeh International
Although English is not my first language, these phrases, the translators are using, do not give the same meaning according to my understanding. They lead to different interpretation, don't they?
For example, "fixed" means "always the same" whereas "a limited" means "may change but does not exceed limit".
