The result particle fa is usually translated as "then" or "so" and is used to indicate the result of a condition. The negative particle acts like the particle anna (أن). This particle belongs to a special group of words known as inna and her sisters (ان واخواتها).

Verse (2:197)

The analysis above refers to the 197th verse of chapter 2 (sūrat l-baqarah):

Sahih International: Hajj is [during] well-known months, so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of iúram], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj. And whatever good you do - Allah knows it. And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is fear of Allah. And fear Me, O you of understanding.
